Pludor World: a free life game where the city is real
Pludor World is a free 3D city you play in your browser. Like a life-sim, you get a starting life, a place to live, a job, needs to keep up and a business to build. Unlike one, the city is connected to Pludor: the restaurants, shops, rides, places to stay and gigs inside it are real, so anything you do in the game you can also do for real.
How to play
- Open the game at pludor.com/world - in any browser, on a phone or a computer. You can play as a guest straight away; sign in (free) when you want your progress saved to your Pludor account.
- Draw your origin - the life you start with (see below). Share what you got and ask your friends what they got.
- Follow your first goal. Pip the city guide in the central square explains the city, and your quests show what to do next.
- Keep your needs up - eat, rest, meet people, have fun and stay clean, or everything gets harder.
- Earn and grow - gigs, deliveries, rides, courses, a stall, a storefront, a building, a billboard.
- Do it for real when you want - every venue is a door to the real Pludor service it stands for.
Your origin: the life you start with
When you first arrive the game draws your origin - your starting circumstances. It is drawn once on the server and cannot be re-rolled. Each origin changes your starting points, skills, vehicle, contacts and first goal; the comfortable starts are the rarest. Points are game-only: no origin hands anyone real money.

Needs & daily life
Your character has five needs - energy, hunger, social, fun and hygiene - that drop as the day goes on. Eat at the food court or a restaurant, rest on a bench or sleep at home, talk to people, play at the arcade and freshen up. Low needs slow you down; looked-after needs keep you earning. A city day lasts 48 real minutes, so the clock never makes you wait.
Skills & courses
There are 14 skills: communication, customer service, video editing, photography, design, driving, marketing, construction, sales, bookkeeping & finance, AI tools, food safety, home services and leadership. Short courses at Nova University raise them, and higher skills unlock better-paid gigs - for example Driving L1 lets you deliver orders for other players.
Work & gigs
Work is how you climb: gigs on the work board (posted by city residents and by other players), deliveries for player shops, rides as a driver, and creator gigs at the Creator Hub. Players can hire players - pay is held in escrow and released when the work is approved. In the Wayfare Hub and the Hive you can also find real Pludor gigs and work for real.
Homes
Rent an apartment at Nova Heights or a home on a Riverside lot, furnish it and sleep there to restore energy. Your home is also where deliveries come to.
Getting around
Walk or run, unlock an electric scooter, an e-bike or a car, take a city ride, or book a real Wayfare ride from the Wayfare Hub. Every city is a free flight away (see Cities).
Businesses & shops
Start small with a market stall or a food-court stall, brand it with your logo and colours, add products and sell to other players. Bring your real Pludor store and players buy your real products, delivered in the real world. The city's shops carry real products from Pludor stores on a plan; stores on the free plan sell in Nova Market; and anyone can add their products from right inside the game.
Buildings & land
375 towers ring the city, each with its own ID (NC-1001 to NC-1375). Buy one forever or lease it by the week: the most central towers cost the most and the edge the least, and prices rise as the city fills. Owners put their name on a lit rooftop sign that reads from both sides and can link their Pludor store, turning the building into a showroom. Each city has its own buildings.
Billboards & advertising
Billboards around the city are shared, scarce ad space. Book one with a headline and a link - to your stall, your Pludor store or your profile - and every player passing by sees it. Real businesses advertise here too, through Pludor Ads.
Cities
Pludor World is one city per country on the same map: you start in your country's city, prices show in your local money, and the people around you are from your city. Popular cities are a free flight away and your progress comes with you.

Money: game points and your real wallet
Pludor World keeps two ledgers apart, always. Game points and XP are earned and spent in the game (vehicles, looks, upgrades) and never turn into cash. Your Pludor wallet is real money and only moves when you do something real - buy a real product, book a real ride, sell from your real store - and always with your confirmation.
People & social
Walk up to another player to see their card - picture, relationship status, photos and recent Signals posts, as they chose to share them. Message them, call them, follow them, send a gift, hire them, or block and report. Signals Hall is the community board, Flika Cinema plays creators' videos, and the leaderboard shows who is on top of your city.
AI
Ask Pludor is built into the game: say what you want - "order food near me", "book a haircut", "take me to the arcade" - and it does it, always asking before it spends or books. AI Studio in the AI Studio building makes images and videos; city characters talk back; and desks in every venue run real Pludor tools.
Controls
- Computer: WASD or the arrow keys to walk, Shift to run, E to enter or use, the mouse to look around.
- Phone and tablet: the joystick on the left to walk, drag the screen to look, tap buildings and people.
- Anywhere: type in the Ask Pludor box - "take me to the food court", "find me a gig", "book a haircut".
Phones & data
Phones get battery saver automatically, and budget phones (4 GB of memory or less) get a lighter look that runs smoothly - tested on a Samsung Galaxy A16. Every panel can be closed, and Settings has full screen, graphics and battery options.

Questions people ask
What is Pludor World?
Pludor World is a free 3D life-simulation game you play in your web browser - no download - where the city is connected to real life: the restaurants, shops, rides, places to stay, gigs and people inside it are real Pludor businesses and Pludor members. You get a character and a starting life, work, earn, rent a home, open a business, buy buildings and meet people, and anything you do in the game you can also do for real.
Is Pludor World free?
Yes. Pludor World is free to play in any browser, as a guest, with nothing to install. Game points and XP are free and never cost money. Real things you choose to buy inside the city - food, rides, products, a stay - are paid through Pludor like anywhere else, and only when you confirm.
Can I play Pludor World on my phone?
Yes. Pludor World is built for phones first: tap pludor.com/world in Chrome or Safari, use the joystick to walk and tap people and buildings. Budget phones automatically get a lighter mode that keeps the city smooth and saves battery - it runs on 3-4 GB Android phones.
What cities are in Pludor World?
There is one city for each country on the same map - for example Neo Lagos (Nigeria), Nova York (United States), Neo London (United Kingdom), Neo Kingston (Jamaica), Nova Accra (Ghana) and Nairobi Prime (Kenya). You start in your country's city, prices show in your money, and you can fly to any popular city for free.
How do I make money in Pludor World?
In the game you earn points and XP from gigs, deliveries, rides, courses, quests and your own business. Points and XP are game-only and never turn into cash. Real money only moves when you do something real - sell a real product from your Pludor store, do a real Pludor gig - and it goes to your Pludor wallet.
Can I buy a building in Pludor World?
Yes. Every tower around the city has an ID (NC-1001 to NC-1375) and can be owned forever or leased by the week. Central towers cost the most and the edge the least, prices rise as the city fills, and owners put their name on a lit rooftop sign and can link their Pludor store so the building becomes their showroom.
How do I fly to another city in Pludor World?
Open the Wayfare Hub desk or Settings and choose Fly to another city. Pick a popular city and confirm - the flight is free and your progress, wallet, friends and messages come with you.
How do you play Lagos Life?
Lagos Life is a Nigerian-made life simulation you play in your browser: you get a character, take jobs, manage money and energy, and visit Lagos spots. Pludor World plays the same way - free, in your browser, no download - but the city is connected to the real Pludor: the shops, food, rides, stays and gigs inside it are real businesses and real jobs. Move with WASD or the on-screen joystick, walk into any building, and tap the Ask Pludor box if you are not sure what to do next.
What do you do in Lagos Life?
In Lagos Life you work, spend, socialise and build a virtual life. In Pludor World you do all of that too - get a job on the work board, rent an apartment, open a stall, buy a car, go out at night - and when you want, you can do it for real: order food from a real restaurant, book a real barber, send a parcel, find a place to stay or sell your own products to the people walking past your stall.
How do I start Lagos Life?
Lagos Life starts you as either "Nepo" (money) or "Lapo" (struggling) at random. Pludor World draws one of ten origins for you instead - from Hustler (40 points, no car) to Investor (900 points and a hypercar) - each with its own skills, contacts and first goal. Nobody is handed real money: points are game-only. Open pludor.com/world and you are in; play as a guest straight away, or sign in with a free Pludor account to keep your progress, earn and message people.
What should I do first in Lagos Life?
In Lagos Life the usual first step is getting a job, because work pays but drains energy and you need food to recover. In Pludor World, talk to the city guide in the square, follow your first quest, then head to Hive Cowork or the work board for a first gig. Eat at the food court when your hunger bar drops, and find somewhere to sleep - an apartment, your home or a hotel stay.
How do I survive my first week in Lagos Life?
Both games are about balancing money, energy and the surprises the city throws at you. In Pludor World your needs (energy, hunger, social, fun, hygiene) drop as the day goes on; rest on benches, eat, sleep and keep some money aside. Finish short courses at Pludor University - they raise your skills and unlock better-paid gigs - and say hello to people nearby, because the social bar counts too.
What is the best way to play Lagos Life?
Play little and often, keep an eye on energy, and do not spend everything on day one - that works in Lagos Life and in Pludor World. In Pludor World it also pays to learn early (courses unlock gigs), to rent a stall or desk once you have steady income, and to use the Ask Pludor box: it can walk you anywhere in the city and, signed in, do real Pludor tasks for you.
How do I progress in Lagos Life?
Lagos Life progress comes from work, money and what you own. Pludor World tracks XP and levels, badges and ranks from Visitor up to World Builder. You climb by completing gigs, finishing courses, renting land, opening a business, posting a job, hosting or attending events and completing quests - progress is never something you buy.
How do you get ahead in Lagos Life?
In both games you get ahead by turning work into something that earns for you. In Pludor World that means opening a business on a plot you rent - a food stall, a market stall, a storefront or a hotel booth - branding it and selling to other players. If you already sell on Pludor, your real store can trade in the city too.
