What is the birth lottery?

Playing
Does time pass when I am not playing?
Yes. The game runs on Lagos time. Your needs drop slowly while you are away (never below a safe floor), rent and loan instalments are collected every Saturday morning, and your businesses pay at 6 PM — they pause if you stay away for 7 days.
How do I earn money fast?
Work your shift every workday, fill the gaps with gigs (up to 10 a day), and put your first savings into a business, which pays every evening. The money guide has a week-by-week plan. Money and your budget →
How do I get promoted?
Reach 100% performance in your shifts while your career skill is at the level the next title needs. Train the skill at home with the right furniture, and on every shift. Jobs, pay and promotion →
Why did my character get sick?
Leaving hunger, energy or hygiene very low for hours makes you mildly sick; untreated, it turns serious. Pharmacy medicine brought to your home (₦1,800) cures a mild case; a serious one needs the hospital. Needs, feelings and health →
What are sparkles for?
Wishes and some goals pay sparkles (✨). You spend them on perks, which make a need drop slower, help at work, speed up skills and more. Wishes, sparkles and perks →
How does the gem hunt work?
Every 4 hours a gem is hidden in one of the places on the map, with a riddle that points to it. The first finder wins ₦40,000; later finders still win something. The gem hunt →
Other players
Is it multiplayer?
Yes. Anyone in a venue with a blue @name tag is a real person. Greet them, trade gist, message them with ready-made Pidgin replies, and send your house link so they can come and visit (up to three guests at once). Blocking and reporting are one tap away. Friends and other players →
Can I buy or cash out game money?
No. Naira in Agege Life is game money: it cannot be bought, sold, exchanged or withdrawn, and offering to trade it for real money gets accounts closed.
Someone is bothering me. What do I do?
Open your chat with them and tap Block: they can no longer message you or come knocking at your house. Report sends the conversation to the moderators.
Account and saving
Do I need an account?
No. The first time you open the game you play as a guest, and your life is saved on our server against that browser. To keep it on any device, open Phone → Settings → Keep this life on any device and confirm your email with a six-digit code.
What happens if I clear my browser or use another device?
A guest life lives in this browser only: clearing its site data, or opening the game somewhere else, starts a new player. Once you have saved your life with your email, use Log in to a saved life on the other device, with an email code or a password if you set one. Fixing problems →
Will my progress be kept?
Yes. Your life is saved on our server after every action and kept between visits. The game is in Public Beta; in the rare case a reset is needed, it is announced on the updates page first.
Can I delete my account?
Yes: Phone → Settings → Delete my account. It signs you out everywhere and removes your @name, your characters’ names and looks, your messages, friendships and visits. See the privacy page for what is kept.
