AJ CitiesAJ Cities is a free open-world game you play in your web browser, on a phone or a computer. There is nothing to download. Open ajcities.com, choose how you want to play, and you are standing on a Lagos street.
Two ways to play
Play AJ's story. A single-player story with no sign-in. You are AJ, two weeks back from London and broke, starting on the veranda bench of Iloro House. Talk to people, earn money and find your way out of the estate. Read AJ's story first if you like.
Party at the estate. Sign in, make your own character and meet other players live at the estate. How party mode works.
Your first ten minutes in AJ's story
- Walk to Chuks at his coal pot across the road from Iloro House and talk to him. He offers to show you around; every step can be skipped.
- Open the map with M (or the map button on a phone), drop a pin and follow the route.
- Say hello to Funke at No. 5. Properly.
- Take the footpath south to the bush. Work as a ball boy at the football (₦1,000 a break) and bet on the match.
- Borrow the officers' shotgun for bottle practice at the unfinished building, and give it back before you leave.
- Pay Officer Sola and Officer Tunde at the north gate, a little at a time, until you reach ₦2,500,000.
Staying alive
Food, snacks and medicine restore your health: Chuks's pot, Mama Shola Hot Stuff Restaurant & Grill at No. 1 and Sarge's window at the gate. The clinic at No. 5 treats you free. Stay away from the dogs at No. 8.
Day and night
The sky follows the real Lagos sun. People keep their own routines: Funke leaves for the hospital on weekday mornings, and Joe-Izzy plays Prizm every night from 9 pm. See the full controls.
