Is there a game where you can live in Amman?

Amman life simulator

Yes. LifeSim lets you live in the real Amman, on a 3D map of the city and its hills. You describe your character, and the game builds the life from your text. Each person you meet has a job, friends, and a routine. LifeSim is free.

How it works

  1. Describe your character in one text box. Name Amman in the text.
  2. The game reads the city from your text and puts you in the real Amman, on a 3D map.
  3. Live day by day. Go to real places, meet people, and talk to them in your own words.

Questions

Can I walk to the Amman Citadel in LifeSim?

Yes. The Citadel stands on a hill above Al-Balad on the real map. Search for it, and your character walks there.

Can I live near Petra instead of Amman?

Yes. Petra is about 230 km south of Amman. Name the town of Wadi Musa in your character text to start your life next to it.

Why do so many Amman districts start with "Jabal"?

Jabal means hill or mountain in Arabic. Amman grew across many hills, and each one gave its name to a district.
