Open your cultural passport

Phone → City culture is the shared entry for landmarks, food, routes and the local calendar. Select a city without moving your character. A route step opens its exact place activity; a link to another city opens the world travel preview, where the ordinary fare and confirmation rules still apply.

Finish each activity to record a passport stamp. Arrival and menu browsing do not count. Cultural tours stay outside to show the actual landmark model. Gateway passages use the same walkable paths in the scene and navigation data.

The landmark collection

Regional food menus

Dishes are added to normal venue menus and settle real game costs and need effects. The passport lists ingredients and the recipe used by this game. Cultural origins are stated separately: popular in a city does not mean invented exclusively there.

Game ingredients are not a real-world allergen guarantee. Vegetarian game recipes do not imply that every traditional version or restaurant plate is vegetarian. No real restaurant booking, official event ticket or currency exchange is represented.

Six routes with claimable rewards

Complete every listed visit, tasting and experience, then claim in the route's city after any running activity is finished. Rewards are once per account, including after a life reset. Progress is visible in the passport and survives refreshes. Two claimed routes grant the city culture badge.

The server keeps a per-account claim record and refuses duplicate payouts. Saving an old snapshot that lacks a newly claimed reward is rejected, so refresh when requested. This does not turn the wider client-driven life simulation into a fully server-authoritative game.

Calendar facts and cultural respect

The calendar uses Nigeria's Africa/Lagos date and Ghana's Africa/Accra date. During testing, the shared gameplay clock and venue schedules use China time (UTC+8). A typical cultural season is not a confirmed community event today.

Eyo and Fanti dates require local announcements; no date is invented here. Abuja craft weekends are a game-created community programme, not an asserted traditional festival. Cultural routes operate separately, year-round during venue hours. They do not recreate ancestor offerings, religious rites, masquerade initiation or access to government ceremonies.

Legacy weekly neighbourhood activities remain game programmes. They should not be confused with this calendar of local traditions and commemorative dates.

Compatibility and map placement

Lagos receives three new landmark places and Accra receives three. Abuja retains all 75 existing place IDs while three recognisable landmarks gain dedicated models. Other imported buildings and Port Harcourt are preserved.

Shared model metrics drive landmark footprints, entrances and pedestrian paths. Main building bodies stay blocked; the Tafawa Balewa Square and Black Star Gate central openings are actual walkable passages. Camera focus still only pans and does not change heading, tilt or zoom.
