Lagos Life is a life simulator set in Lagos, Nigeria. You play one Lagosian: keep six needs from falling apart, earn a living, rent a place, and try to stay ahead of a rent that is due every Saturday. It is free, and it runs in your browser at lagoslife.com.ng/play — no download, and no account needed to start.
Six needs, and a city that does not wait
Hunger, energy, fun, social, hygiene and bladder all fall on their own. Every action you take — cooking, working, travelling, sleeping — costs in-game minutes, and Lagos only has so many of them in a day. There is no difficulty slider. The pressure is the rent, and it is due on Saturday.

Work for it, then advertise it
Earning is only half of it. Take a shift, chase a promotion or work a gig, and you can spend the naira on something the whole city sees: paint one of the 38 billboards over the roads (₦100,000 for a week, your own emoji on the board) or rent a lagoon plot (₦50,000 a week). Every slot is shared and first come, first served, and the map names whoever holds it — so your board is an advert that other players really see.
