Map questions

Where can I eat cheaply in Lagos Life?

Amala Shitta in Surulere had the cheapest meals we saw: Amala & Ewedu for ₦300 and a cup of Zobo for ₦100. Our Hunger read 100% after the ₦300 plate.

Where do I train Fitness, Coding or Comedy?

Guides list i-Fitness in Ikoyi for Fitness (sessions ₦300–₦1,000), CcHub in Yaba for Coding (side projects and meetups), and Freedom Park on Lagos Island for Comedy (comedy shows, ₦500). These are guide-reported; we haven’t timed the training ourselves.

Can you travel to Abuja or Port Harcourt?

The logged-in map has Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja buttons, and we could view the Abuja map with more than 60 places on it. We haven’t yet travelled there or worked a shift, so we can’t confirm how travel works or what it costs.

Are opening hours real-world times?

No. Venue hours run on the Lagos game clock shown at the top of the screen. The hours on this page come from two fan guides and are labelled that way; we haven’t tested entry outside them.
