The map

What it is

The map is a 3D view of the city from above. Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt each have places, homes, jobs, airports, billboards and motor parks. Tap a place to see what you can do there and how to get there.

How to use the map

  1. Tap City ▾ to see the cities. Tap a city’s name to view its map. Tap ✈️ Fly beside a city to open the flight desk with that city selected.
  2. Tap Names to show or hide place name tags.
  3. Tap More to open extra map options:
  • 📢 Billboards shows the city’s billboards and how to book one.
  • 🌊 Sea Plots shows floating ad plots on the Lagos lagoon.
  • 🏛️ Government opens the Lagos State House, with the governor, policies and weekly election.

  2. To close a list, choose an item, tap the button again, tap elsewhere or press Esc.
  3. When viewing another city’s map, use 📍 Back to Lagos (or your city) to return, or ✈️ Fly to Abuja/PH to travel there. On your own city’s map, tap the green governor announcement strip to open the State House.

How to get to a place

  1. Tap the place on the map.
  2. Check its card for activities, people there, player shops in the district, and any restrictions such as Closed, Members only or a required Rep level.
  3. Choose a ride from the five options. See Moving inside a city.
  4. Tap Go · ₦…. If you work there and can start your shift, tap Go to work 💼 instead.

Some place cards have extra options, such as sharing a link to the place, walking around Yaba at CcHub, MindSpace or UNILAG, viewing the stadium’s match list, or joining the golf club.

Tap an airport to open the flight desk. To see the airport’s place card, tap Not flying? on the flight desk.

💬 Message is also available.

Rules & numbers

  • On a phone, pinch to zoom and drag to move around the map. The map does not rotate. Holding your phone upright lets you zoom out up to twice as far as on a computer.
  • If another city’s map is slow to load, tap Try again or Back to Lagos. You can still fly there without loading its map.
  • Player shops and companies are not shown on the map. Find them in Phone → Shops or on a place’s card.

Tips

  • To find a place, turn on Names and zoom in.
  • To travel to another city, tap City ▾, then ✈️ Fly beside that city.
  • Check the traffic line under City ▾ before choosing a danfo ride: it shows Free road, Moving, Go-slow or Serious go-slow.
