Is there an Elite game where you can live in Madrid?
Elite life simulator
There is no official Elite life simulator. You can play LifeSim instead on a 3D map of the real Madrid. You describe a character, and the game places them among AI people who remember you.
New scholarship studentUnofficial and fan-made. LifeSim is not affiliated with or endorsed by Netflix. You play original characters inspired by Elite, not the official story.
The actual Madrid locations
The Netflix series story happens at Las Encinas. This elite secondary school is a fictional place. The production filmed the series across Madrid, Community of Madrid, Spain. They used the Universidad Europea de Madrid campus in Villaviciosa de Odón for the outdoor school shots. The real campus sits just outside the main city.
In LifeSim, you start your story on the real map of Madrid. You can search for the university campus and walk around the public areas. The map shows the actual streets, parks, and buildings of the Spanish capital. You see AI people walking to their jobs and homes.
The city center offers locations that match the wealthy social world of the series. You can visit Barrio de Salamanca and Calle Serrano for luxury shopping. Puerta del Sol provides a busy square for meeting friends and crossing paths with rivals. The wider region features a mix of urban centers and quiet spots.

A sample life: testing loyalties in the city
Alba, 17, starts her life in Madrid with a scholarship. She sets a life goal to become the top student in her class. Her daily to-do list includes reading at El Retiro Park and attending a study group. She texts her old friends to keep in touch.
One afternoon, a house party appears on her map near Plaza de España. She goes there and meets an old-money heir named Diego. They talk about their different backgrounds and their schools. Diego remembers Alba because people in LifeSim keep a journal of past events.
A week later, Diego texts Alba on his own. He invites her to a shopping trip at Galería Canalejas. Alba agrees and walks there on the 3D map. She must decide if she will spend her limited cash to impress him. She checks her cash balance after the shopping trip.
Printed escape books and open games
There is no official Elite video game that we know of. The series only has an official printed escape book tie-in. Fans who want to experience the drama of a Spanish private school often look for life simulation games. LifeSim provides an open space for this kind of story.
You do not follow a set plot in this simulation. You write your character description, and the game adapts to it. The AI characters react to your background, your wealth, and your choices. You create the school drama through your own daily interactions.
The game has no school lot and no official prom event. You plan your outings on the city streets and deal with the social consequences. If you play on a desktop computer, you can use the Sketch tool. This lets you draw on your character to change their style for a party.
Social status and luxury streets
Status in Madrid often revolves around image and family wealth. The series highlights the contrast between working-class neighborhoods and luxury districts. You can observe this divide during your life in LifeSim. A character might live in a small apartment but spend their afternoons near the Four Seasons Hotel Madrid.
Teenagers in Spain often gather in public squares and parks after their classes. El Retiro Park is a common place for safe, quiet meetups away from parents. You can invite your friends there for private conversations or study breaks. These outdoor outings can change your relationships with your classmates.
Nightlife is a large part of the city culture. Gran Vía features a lively atmosphere with big-city energy. Your character can hear the latest gossip there before it spreads. Fashion is also important, and you can change clothes to match the high-end styles of your wealthy peers.
