Lagos cannot have all the fun
I saw @eureka_seamless build a danfo game, then @Shalom_HeyEliy made Lagos Life Sims.
I live in Port Harcourt. We couldn’t just be watching.
So I built PH Lifestyle 🌴
A multiplayer browser game where you hustle, roast bole, catch buses, gist with other players and spray your in-game money at the owambe.
Come for the bole. Stay for the gist.
Free to play in your browser. You can jump in as a guest.

PH people, come and tell me what’s missing 😂
I built a game where you drive a danfo through Lagos 🚌
Load passengers, dodge okadas, beat the traffic. Plays in your browser, no download.

We’ve identified an issue causing game crashes on PH lifestyle .
The fix is rolling out and should be live in just a few minutes.
See you back in the game soon!
500 people are on PH Lifestyle right now
a few days ago I was just trying to build something fun around Port Harcourt and now the site is at
- 20,688 visitors
- 36,569 pageviews
- 6m 20s average engaged time
the part I like most is that it’s not only coming from X anymore people are coming in direct, through social, and from Google too, there’s still a lot to fix. still some lag, still some bugs, still features I want to clean up.
but having 500 people inside the game at the same time while I’m still actively building it is wild.
really grateful for everyone playing, sending feedback and breaking things for me 😂
I’ve been reading all the feedback, fixing the annoying stuff, and rebuilding the parts of PH Lifestyle that just didn’t feel good enough
so yeah… the whole city got a refresh the game feels completely different now. cleaner, smoother, easier to use, and more importantly, I added a lot more things to actually do in PH.
this update is less about adding random features and more about making the whole experience feel better
still fixing things as people play, but this version feels much closer to what I had in mind
@EniolaRowell@hybridthegeek different ui , different animations , different game play but yeah.
straight up theft
im sure you didn’t attempt to play before commenting
The funniest part about being called a COPYCAT is watching 13,000 people still show up
PH Lifestyle is now at 23,500 pageviews, over 6 minutes average engagement, and we’ve already gotten paying users and somehow the conversation is still , but somebody built something for Lagos first
she built something around Lagos. I built something around Port Harcourt, where I live
there’s room for both
almost every successful market has competitors. AI tools, social apps, fintech, games, and nobody owns an entire category because they were first
what matters is what you do with the idea
while people have been arguing, I’ve been getting feature requests, fixing multiplayer issues, reducing lag, removing things users don’t like and building things they actually asked for
some requests are making it in. some definitely aren’t and i have another batch of features I’m trying to ship in the next few hours
you can spend your time debating who was first but I’d rather spend mine making the better product
> back to shipping guys
I got a few interesting things coming to PH Lifestyle later today
also been working on the lag. it feels better than before, but there’s still some stuff I need to clean up though
we’re getting there
@officialdreezee@hybridthegeek before releasing , i shot her in the dms for a collaboration and it was unattended to even while active
so ? i should still keep waiting ?

Lagos got its own Sims world.
