A Lagos life simulator you can play now

What you do in this Lagos life sim

You start with one person and one week. Most people begin as Ajepako, with a small room and a ₦45,000 loan from Kolanut Loans; some begin as Ajebota, with family help and paid rent. From there the day is yours: find a job, take a danfo to the market, eat at a buka, cook at home, sleep, and keep enough naira for rent on Saturday morning.

• 14 careers, five levels each, with 60-minute shifts and work situations to handle.
• 24 places on the city map, reached by Walk, Keke, Danfo, Okada, Taxi.
• 6 homes to rent and 72 pieces of furniture to fill them.
• 9 businesses to buy, paying out every evening at 6 PM.
• A bank, cars, betting, a casino, police and court, elections and billboards.

Your first day in Agege

Character creation takes a few minutes: your look, two traits, a big dream, the birth lottery and a first home. Then the goal pills at the top left walk you through a first day. They come in this order and pay ₦18,900 in total:

1. Breakfast first: Eat from the cooler box or stove (₦1,200)
2. Get ready for the day: Splash wash or a quick shower (₦1,200)
3. Find work: Phone → Jobs, pick a career (₦2,500)
4. Make the room yours: Tap Buy, put one thing down (₦2,500)
5. Lunch at Iya Basira’s: Map → Iya Basira’s Buka (₦3,500)
6. Greet a neighbour: Greet anyone you meet out there (₦8,000)

After that there is no script. Most players take a job in Phone → Jobs, work 60-minute shifts, pick up gigs at venues for quick naira, and furnish their room before the first rent on Saturday morning.

Lagos detail, not just a Lagos name

The city map is one Lagos neighbourhood drawn in detail, with the railway through the middle. You will find places like Agege Market, Iya Basira's Buka, Pen Cinema Bus Stop, Agege Stadium, Owambe Palace Event Centre. You get around the way Lagos does: Walk (Free), Keke (₦100–₦200), Danfo (₦100–₦200), Okada (₦400–₦500), Taxi (₦800–₦900). Food is jollof, akara, garri and suya; the phone has a bank app, a food-delivery app and a ride app; rent, a loan from Kolanut Loans and weekly tax keep the budget honest.

Real players in the same Lagos streets

Other people are playing at the same time. You run into them at the market, at a buka or at work; greet them, joke with them, send private messages with Pidgin quick replies and invite friends to your home.
