No really, this isn't an April Fools' joke.

Google Maps have launched a new interactive version of the children's book Where's Wally for a limited time. Available on Android, iOS and desktop during the week of April Fools', users will be able to hunt down the man in the red and white strips across various locations globally. Joining him too are his iconic friends Wenda, Woof, Wizard Whitebeard and arch-nemesis Odlaw. In a Google statement, which was allegedly written by the fictitious Wally himself (or at least his American version, Waldo), the adventurer said: "To start the search, simply update your app or visit google.com/maps on desktop. Then press play when you see me waving at you from the side of your screen. You can even ask the Google Assistant on your phone, Chromebook or Home device, 'Hey Google, Where’s [Wally]?' to start." Again, this is not a joke. That cannot be stressed enough. Check it out here.
