Moving Day
Co-op chaosCarry a sofa up a fourth-floor walk-up with no lift, against the clock and the landlord. Physics does the comedy.
Multiplayer and the future
Your city, with your friends in it
Namma Uru starts as a single-player story. Multiplayer comes in three stages, each one switched on only when the numbers from the stage before say it's worth it. The idea underneath all of it is simple: every player should bring the next one.
Three stages
Cheap and social first, live later
- 1
Play alongside
No live servers yet. You play against your friends' recorded runs and scores rather than with them in real time.
- Ghost autos: race a friend's best Silk Board run
- Area leaderboards: Koramangala vs Indiranagar
- Daily challenge with one shared seed for the whole city
- Clips and share cards made for Reels and WhatsApp
Gate Shares and invites per player
- 2
Co-op chapters
Two to four friends play a special chapter together. Send a link and your friend is in your auto in seconds, with no download and no install.
- Drop-in from a WhatsApp link
- Only the host needs to own the area
- Each chapter is its own kind of game
- Friends-only, with quick-chat phrases
Gate Co-op retention and new players per host
- 3
Live city
Bigger sessions, leagues and a season-long fight between real neighbourhoods.
- Area Wars: a season-long city meta
- Office and college leagues
- Hangouts: a darshini or rooftop to meet friends
- Creator mode for races and routes
Gate Concurrent players and league sign-ups
9 chapters to start
Co-op chapters, each its own kind of game
A chapter is a short multiplayer story set in one area. Each one plays differently: a heist, a race, a party game, a rescue. New areas bring new chapters, so the multiplayer side grows with the map.
Shaadi Season
Co-op rolesRun a wedding: one player finds the silk, one chases the groom's horse, one feeds four hundred guests, one keeps Amma calm.
Big Rain Rescue
Co-op survivalThe flood is rising. Boat autos, stranded residents and a drain to clear before the water wins.
The Chickpet Job
Crew heistClassic heist roles: driver, lookout, talker and hacker. Plan it at the darshini, then it all goes wrong.
Gig Wars
Team score attackOotaGo vs TenMinit. Two teams, ten minutes, the most deliveries wins. Sabotage is allowed. So is rain.
Midnight League
RacingTara's Old Airport Road races, now against real people. Autos, bikes or anything you can borrow.
Scene Chase
Hide and seekOne player has a five-star Scene meter. Everyone else hunts them through the bus stand at rush hour.
Election Night
Team vs teamOne team runs the rally and fills the drone shot. The other team tries to expose the bought crowd before counting.
Gully Cricket
Party gameOne tip one hand, the window rule and a neighbour who keeps the ball. The one everyone plays between chapters.
Built to spread
Every player brings the next
Bengaluru argues about its neighbourhoods every day. The game gives that pride somewhere to go, and makes it one tap to pull a friend in.
Represent your area
Pick your real neighbourhood when you sign up. Everything you do earns points for it, and the city keeps a live table. People share what makes their area look good.
Link to play
A browser game's superpower: one WhatsApp link drops a friend straight into your auto. No store, no download, no install.
Host owns, friends join
Only the host needs the area. Friends try it for free with you, and buy it when they want to go back on their own.
Gift an area
Send a ₹199 area to a friend over UPI, with a note. Birthdays, farewells and "you have to play this".
Bring your crew
Invite three friends who finish Act I and get a city area free. Each invite helps both sides.
Office League
Companies field teams for Gig Wars and Midnight League. HR gets a team event, we get a B2B customer, and a whole office joins at once.
College League
Fest tie-ins and campus teams. The protagonist is a college kid, so colleges feel like home turf.
Your work on the city
Players design auto liveries and murals. The best ones are voted in and appear in everyone's game, some on real billboard slots.
The city talks about you
NPCs gossip about what players did today: "Two lakh of you crossed Silk Board this morning. Shame." Shared moments, every day.
In sync with the real city
It rains in the game when it rains in Bengaluru. Real match nights fill the in-game pubs. Festival lights go up on the same week.
Chat decides
Streamers can let their audience vote on the next passenger, the weather or the twist. Made to be watched as well as played.
Creator mode
Build a race, a delivery route or a challenge, then share it as a code. The best get featured on the in-game radio.
Guardrails
Safe enough for a college fest
- Friends-only voice and text at first. Strangers get quick-chat phrases, not open chat.
- Area pride, never caste, religion, language or politics. Moderated names and designs.
- Neighbourhood is a choice from a list. We never ask for GPS or a home address.
- No loot boxes, no gambling and no real-money stakes in any mode.
- Every competitive mode is cosmetic-only. Paying never helps you win.
In plain words
What it takes to build
- Async
- Playing against recordings and scores instead of live people. Cheap, because nothing has to run in real time.
- Netcode
- The code that keeps every player's screen in sync. It is the hard part, and why live co-op comes second.
- Session server
- A small server that runs one co-op game for two to four players. Costs grow with how many people play at once.
- Host
- The player who opens the session. Their copy of the game decides which areas and chapters are available.
How it pays. Multiplayer sells areas (friends buy what they tried with you), makes cosmetics worth owning (people can see them) and opens office and college leagues as a business line.
Next: how this all makes money.
