Start with the beginner guideWhere can I play Lagos Life?
The verified browser entry is lagoslife.app. Open that address in your browser to reach the developer’s game, then sign up or log in to continue a saved life. Lagos Life Guide is a separate, unofficial website for reading about the game.
Check the official game addressDo I need an app or a download?
The verified route is the browser game. You can also add a home-screen icon using the game’s installation prompt or your browser’s menu. This guide has not verified a separate developer-issued APK or native store edition; installation options vary by browser and device.
See the device and installation guideIs Lagos Life free to play?
The official website describes free browser access. The game’s terms also allow optional in-game purchases, so free access should not be read as a promise that every feature or item costs nothing. Virtual money and assets cannot be exchanged for real-world cash.
Read the official game terms ↗How do I get started and find a job?
Create your account and Sim, check the starting balance and reserve upcoming bills. Open Phone → Jobs to apply for a career. On an eligible working game day, use Go to work and finish the shift. Compare the listed pay and promotion skill before switching careers.
Go to the first-job walkthroughWho made Lagos Life, and is this guide official?
