What Lagos life looks like in the game
Lagos is loud, fast and full of opportunity. The game captures the everyday hustle of Eko, the good, the funny and the stressful.
Danfo, keke and okada
Flag down a danfo at the bus stop, argue with the conductor for your change, or jump on an okada when traffic is crazy.
Ride the Blue and Red Line
Take the Lagos metro across the city, from the Island to the Mainland, with real stations along the way.
Lagos traffic and agberos
Buy a car, sit in go-slow, pay agberos at the motor park and watch out for FRSC checkpoints.
Buy land and build your house
Start in a face-me-I-face-you room, save up, buy a plot and build your dream duplex with a fence and gate.
Hustle like a true Lagosian
Run a buka, open a POS stand, drive for dispatch, sell on the market app and invest in companies.
Owambe every weekend
Pick your aso-ebi, throw a party for the whole street, spray money and dance till NEPA takes light.
Rain, NEPA and real Lagos days
Day turns to night, rain floods the road, NEPA takes light and the whole city shouts UP NEPA when it comes back.
Fight for Lagos
Everything you do scores for Lagos in the weekly State War against Abuja, Kano, Rivers and every other state.

From face-me-I-face-you to your own duplex
Every Lagos story starts small. You arrive with a little money and a room. Take jobs and errands, learn skills at school, start a business and save for your first plot of land. Build a bungalow, then a duplex, then fence it and park your car in front. Along the way you make friends, join a crew, get married at an owambe and maybe even run from EFCC if you get too greedy.
Lagos is also home to the biggest community in the game, so there is always someone online to chat with, trade with or challenge to a game of Ayo.
