Lagos Life is new and still changing, so this page tracks what is confirmed and what is still only a label on the map. Everything below is dated, and anything we cannot verify is marked as unconfirmed.

What changed from older guides
If you read a guide from October 5 or earlier, three things are out of date:
- Places. Lagos now lists 30 places (not 28) and there are two more cities. See places and opening hours.
- Airport. It is open. Only the Lagos Oil Refinery is still coming soon. See transport and flights.
- Nepo and Lapo. The starting numbers are no longer unknown. See nepo vs lapo.
Systems to watch
- Governor election: the governor can switch on five policies, such as a 15% wage rise or half-price transport. When an election opens, we will post the dates here.
- Sea plots: paid display spots on the waterfront with review before launch.
- Money and prices: the no-cash-out rule is in the official terms. If those terms change, we will update the page and note the date.
Not confirmed
- Payslips: we have not yet seen the money that lands after a shift, or how quickly Performance rises.
- The first business payout (due 6 PM the day after we bought the kiosk), what a bad day looks like, and the Bus company business.
- The first Saturday charge for rent and the Lapo loan repayment.
- Nepo Baby: the numbers come from the game’s own data; we have not played a Nepo account.
- University enrolment (we have the costs but have not completed it), friendship levels in play, wallet top-ups, sea plot purchases and the election campaign flow.
- Any app-store release (see the app guide).
