Is there a game where you can live in Medellín?

Medellín life simulator

Yes. LifeSim has the real Medellín on its 3D map of Earth. Write a character who lives there, and the game starts your life in the city. The people you meet have jobs, goals, and friends, and they remember your talks. It is free and needs no download.

Life in Medellín

Medellín is the second largest city in Colombia, in the Aburrá Valley. People call it the City of Eternal Spring because the weather stays mild all year. A Metro line and cable cars link the valley floor to the hills, and the Flower Festival comes each August.

Where to live in Medellín

El Poblado

Tall apartment towers, Parque Lleras, and many restaurants and bars.

Laureles

Flat, leafy streets, local cafés, and salsa bars on La 70.

Comuna 13

Hillside homes, outdoor escalators, and walls covered in murals.

El Centro

Plaza Botero, its big bronze statues, and busy market streets.

How it works

  1. Describe your character in one text box. Name Medellín in the text.
  2. The game reads the city from your text and puts you in the real Medellín, 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 see the murals of Comuna 13?

Yes. Search for Comuna 13 on the real 3D map and go there. The streets and places in the game are the real ones.

Can I play a digital nomad who moves to Medellín?

Yes. Write it into your character, for example a developer who just moved to El Poblado. People in the city react to your story and remember you.

Do the locals in Medellín have their own lives?

Yes. Each person has a name, a job, a home, and a routine for weekdays and weekends. They also text you on their own.
