Core loop

Sort parcels to earn wages, train at the Reading Room for promotion, buy meals and furniture, chat with neighbours and return home for self-care and sleep. Walk for free or pay for a danfo trip.

Goal

Complete a work shift, make one friend, buy two furnishings and pay your first Saturday rent. Finish this first-week story, then keep living freely.

Failure and restart

Low hunger or energy opens recovery at home. Late rent becomes a recoverable bill. Earn wages and settle it at home; your progress remains. Pause offers a confirmed restart.

Tips for a better run

  • Reserve ₦800 for Saturday rent. Prepay at home to avoid a late bill.
  • Correct parcels earn a bonus. Healthy needs keep your base pay at its full amount.
  • Practise twice and finish two shifts, then review your promotion at Harbour Works.
  • Meals, showers, the bathroom and sleep help you build a steady routine.
  • Low on money? Walking is free, and a neighbour can offer basic help at home.
