What is Gidi Life?
Gidi Life is a free life simulation game set in Lagos, Nigeria. You create your Lagosian, pick how your story starts (silver spoon or self-made), and then it's your life: hustle, work, pay rent, ride the city's buses and trains, buy property, open a business and party with other players. It's a Lagos game you play in your browser or inside Telegram, with nothing to download.
"Gidi" is what Lagosians call Lagos (from "Lasgidi"), so Gidi Life simply means Lagos life: the go-slow, the danfo conductors, the suya at night, the owambe on Saturday and the hustle on Monday.

Questions people ask
Is Gidi Life free?
Yes. Gidi Life is free to play on the web and in Telegram. Inside Telegram there are optional extras you can buy with Telegram Stars, but you don't need them to play. The naira (₦) in the game is play money: you can't withdraw it or turn it into real money.
Is Gidi Life on Telegram?
Yes. Gidi Life also runs inside Telegram as a Mini App, so it opens right in the chat with nothing to install. In Telegram it's the bot @lagoscity_life_bot: the same game, the same account if you link it. See how to play in Telegram.
Do I need a phone number to play?
Not to start. On the website you can tap Try as guest and play straight away: your progress is saved on that device. When you're ready, add your phone number (we send a code by SMS) and set a PIN, and the same Lagosian is safe on any device. Some things, like sending money to other players or buying land, need your number first. In Telegram you don't type a number; you're signed in with your Telegram account.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Gidi Life plays in your phone or computer's web browser, or inside Telegram. To get the Gidi Life app on your phone, open the website and add it to your home screen: it opens full screen like any other app.
Can I play Gidi Life offline?
No, you need an internet connection to play, because the city is shared with other real players. Once you've played, the website keeps game files on your phone so it opens faster and uses less data next time.
