CodedLife: a playable Accra, Ghana, free in your browser
CodedLife is a free 3D open-world game set in Accra, built from real OpenStreetMap roads and buildings. Walk, drive a taxi, cycle or fly anywhere in the city, then drop into a battle royale on the University of Ghana campus at Legon. There's nothing to download: it runs in your browser on a computer or a phone.
Free roam: the city, at real scale
- Real streets: about 18,000 mapped roads and 116,000 buildings from OpenStreetMap, on real terrain up Legon Hill.
- Landmarks: Independence Arch and Black Star Square, the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum, the National Theatre, Jamestown Lighthouse, Osu Castle, Accra Mall, and the University of Ghana's Great Hall, Balme Library and Main Gate.
- Getting around: sprint, slide and climb up walls and onto roofs, drive a yellow-and-white Accra taxi, ride a bike or fly. A full city map and teleports take you anywhere.
- Accra traffic: taxis, trotros (Accra's shared minibuses), people on the walks and kiosks at the trotro stops.
- Day and season: the equatorial sun crosses the sky, and from December to February the harmattan blows Sahara dust over the city.
Battle royale at Legon
Jump from a helicopter over the University of Ghana campus with 39 bots, glide down, loot weapons, heals and ammo, and fight inside a shrinking storm until one fighter is left.
- Weapons: pistol, assault rifle, pump shotgun, scoped bolt sniper and pickaxe, in five rarities. Bandages, med kits and shields keep you going.
- Cover: crouch behind cars and concrete barriers. Shoot a car until it burns, then get clear.
- Recon: a pulse marks nearby enemies every 30 seconds.
Battle royale needs a free account with a verified email. Free roam doesn't.
