Is there a game where you can live in Helsinki?

Helsinki life simulator

Yes. LifeSim lets you live in the real Helsinki, on a 3D map of its streets. You write who you are, and you play the city day by day. The people there have routines and goals, and they remember what you say. It is free, with no download.

How it works

  1. Describe your character in one text box. Name Helsinki in the text.
  2. The game reads the city from your text and puts you in the real Helsinki, 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 go to the Oodi library in Helsinki?

Yes. Search for Oodi on the map and walk there. Other places, such as cafés and saunas, are on the map too.

Can I plan a sauna evening with friends?

Yes. Plan an outing, invite people, and choose a public sauna as the spot. You walk there as a group and talk together.

What language do the people in Helsinki speak to me?

They speak English, because LifeSim has only English text. The streets keep their Finnish names on the map.
