Live your Naija story — in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.
Start in a face-me-I-face-you in Mushin with ₦10,000 and big dreams. Ride danfo to work, haggle at Balogun, chop amala at Shitta, dance at Quilox, then fly to Abuja or Port Harcourt. Get a car, buy the house. Lagos only has so many minutes in a day.
Nothing to install in the browser. One account and one save on every device.Real screens from the game, as it plays today on a phone.
A life simulator in the spirit of The Sims, built around how a Nigerian day actually goes: the go-slow, the light, the market, the landlord.
Pick a body, a skin tone, braids, locs or a gele, and an outfit in Ankara, Adire or Aso-oke for the owambe — then a trait that decides how they handle the city. Ten traits, five aspirations and 22 wishes shape what your Lagosian wants.
Six needs fall on their own: hunger, energy, fun, social, hygiene and bladder. Keep them up and the day goes well; let them slide and the moodlets go sour.
Beginner tips: keeping all six needs up →
Your phone has the Jobs app, and the jobs are Nigerian: 25 careers, each with five levels, promoted on the skills you actually built.
"Oga, last price nko?" At the market stall you push the price up or down while the buyer's patience runs out. Hold firm too long and they walk away. Get it right and that's your profit.
Buy groceries and cook at home, order delivery, or chop out — Amala Shitta in Lagos, bole and fish in PH, suya in Wuse.
Groceries and what they cost →
17 homes across three cities, from a single room in Mushin at ₦420 a week to a Banana Island mansion. Pay rent every Saturday, or save up and buy a home outright so the rent stops for good.
Decorate with Adire and Ankara wallpaper, terrazzo and parquet, 85 pieces of furniture and luxury, a garage for your cars, and household staff to cook and clean.
Housing guide: renting, moving and buying →Lagos is home. Catch an Air Peace flight or the GIG night bus and your Lagosian can live anywhere.

How to advertise your business in Naija Life →Six ways to move, each priced and timed by the kilometre, with the go-slow built in. Walk, ride, or drive your own car.
Getting around Lagos →The power goes. Your gen is either fuelled or it is not, and fuel scarcity is a real event. Food subsidies come and go too.
How the light works →Every week, candidates run on transport, wages, food and light. Cast your ballot and watch the count change fares, pay and prices.
Voting in Naija Life →Hits Studio, Wazobia Lounge, Fuji Corner, the Sports Desk and more, playing as you move around the city.
The stations →Sign in to chat in the city's rooms, send DMs, send money to friends and climb the Rich List.
How the online city works →Sneak into the VIP section or square up to an agbero, and if you're caught it's a fine or a night at Eko Police Division. 144 moodlets remember how the week went.
Crime and the cell →Every figure on these pages comes from the game's own data.
Yes. The whole game is free in your browser and on Android, and it will be free on iPhone. In-game naira can be topped up if you want it — Paystack in the browser, in-app purchase on the phones — but nothing in the game is behind a purchase.
Yes. Press Play in your browser and the game opens at naijalifegame.ng/play with nothing to install. It runs on a phone browser as well as a computer, and you can add it to your home screen so it opens full screen like an app.
The Android app is out now, free on Google Play. The iPhone app is coming soon. Both use the same account and the same save as the browser, so a Lagosian you start today follows you to the phone.
No. Lagos is home, but you can fly or take the night bus to Abuja and Port Harcourt, each with its own places, homes and food. Players sometimes call those parts Abuja Life and PH Life.
No. You can play as a guest: the save stays on your device and there is no chat. An account adds a cloud save, the leaderboard, chat with other Lagosians, and somewhere for a top-up to land.
The simulation runs on your device, so a dropped connection does not stop the game. It saves locally and catches up with the server when you are back online. Chat, the leaderboard and cloud saves need a connection.
Free, in your browser, in under a minute.
