What is Lagos Life?
Lagos Life is a multiplayer life simulation game that runs in your web browser. You create a Sim, choose a home, work shifts, pay rent, make friends and date in one shared, Lagos-inspired city with other real players. Its creator, developer Shalom Rayhamen, has said the idea came from growing up with The Sims 3 and from seeing Eureka's browser game Lagos Run. The game is run by Eliy, according to its Terms of Service.
How popular is it? The game took off in early October 2026. The game's public stats page showed more than 1.8 million all-time visits as of 4 October 2026, and the number of players online at the same time has passed 10,000 (the creator reported more than 11,000 on 3 October).

What do you do?
Build a Sim, work shifts, pay rent every Saturday, eat, sleep, hang out at real Lagos spots like Balogun Market, Elegushi Beach and Quilox, date, marry, start a business and vote in the weekly governor election.

Players aged 18+. You play in one shared Lagos with everyone else who signs up, so you can visit other players' houses, chat and send money.
Getting started: the 5-step overview
- Sign up at lagoslife.app. Pick a username, a password of 6+ characters, and add an email. Without an email, a lost password can't be reset.
- Create your Sim. Choose a look, two personality traits and a lifetime dream, such as Oga at the Top or Lekki Landlord.
- Take the birth lottery. You don't choose this. The game makes you either a Nepo Baby or a LAPO Baby, once per account.
- Pick a home. Mushin (₦2,400/week rent) or Yaba (₦6,000/week). Nepo Babies get a Lekki flat. Rent is taken every Saturday.
- Get a job on your phone. Tap "Apply — start tomorrow", then show up for every shift. Our jobs table helps you pick.
