Is there a bodyguard simulator game?
Bodyguard simulator
Yes. In LifeSim, you play an executive protection agent in a real city on a 3D map. You talk to your client and teammates in your own words, and they remember your past days. It is free and runs in your browser with no download.

Real cities for a close protection career
Los Angeles is a major center for celebrity security. Agents guard actors and studio executives between gated homes in Beverly Hills and venues like the Dolby Theatre. In San Francisco and Silicon Valley, details protect tech founders at campuses in Menlo Park and at the Moscone Center.
In London, operatives licensed by the Security Industry Authority protect billionaires and diplomats in Mayfair, Knightsbridge, and Canary Wharf. In Washington, D.C., teams run motorcades around Capitol Hill and the embassies along Massachusetts Avenue.
Johannesburg and São Paulo have busy private security sectors. Agents in Johannesburg guard mining executives in the Sandton financial district and at OR Tambo International Airport. In São Paulo, teams protect banking leaders along the Avenida Paulista and Faria Lima corridors.
A sample week: protecting a musician in London
Callum, 34, starts a job as a close protection officer in London. He edits his cast to add his principal, a musician staying in Mayfair, and a teammate on the detail. On Monday, Callum puts an advance route check on his daily to-do list.
He uses place search to find the nearest hospital and the concert venue, then walks there on the map. On Wednesday, the musician texts Callum late at night and asks to go to a house party happening nearby. Callum talks the client out of the unscheduled trip in his own words.
The musician remembers the talk on Friday and thanks Callum for keeping the tour quiet. At the end of each day, the daily recap records the smooth shifts and changes Callum's cash and health.
Prompts that work for a security agent
Put your name, age, job, and city in the character text box. Add details about who your principal is and how you got into the trade. Many agents come from military police, law enforcement, or private academies like Executive Security International.
You can write, "Elena, 31, an executive protection agent in San Francisco, USA, who guards a demanding tech founder." For a celebrity detail, try, "Marcus, 38, a bodyguard in Los Angeles, USA, working the night shift at a Bel Air estate." For a diplomatic role, write, "Tariq, 42, a close protection specialist in Washington, D.C., USA, assigned to a visiting envoy."
What the job looks like in LifeSim
Real protection work is mostly preventative planning and waiting, not fighting. In LifeSim, you play out 12-hour shifts, advance route walks, and difficult conversations with your client's family or staff. You set life goals, keep a calendar, and check off tasks on your daily to-do list.
People in your world have their own routines and text you on their own. When a schedule changes at the last minute, you may have to cancel an outing with your friends or partner. They remember when you miss a birthday drink, and your character ages through life stages as the years pass.

Questions
Are there gunfights or combat mini-games?
No. LifeSim has no combat, weapons, or driving mini-games. You play out route planning, advance checks, and client disputes through text chats and map visits.
What do real bodyguards call the person they protect?
Professionals call the client the principal, not the VIP or boss. In the US, the field is called Executive Protection, while in the UK it is called Close Protection.
Can I edit the client I protect?
Yes. You can edit the people in your cast, including your boss, your principal, and your security teammates.
Can I go inside hotels or stadiums?
No. The 3D map shows real buildings from the outside only. You walk to the real location and act out the shift in your story.
Do civilian bodyguards in the UK carry guns?
No. Civilian close protection operatives in the United Kingdom are legally prohibited from carrying firearms or weapons. They rely on advance planning, route selection, and threat assessment.
