Hey, I'm Lara, the maker of Europe, the Game and Just Move to Europe. I wanted a way to imagine an ordinary day in a city before moving there. Where would I work? Who might I meet? How long would my runway last if I kept buying that coffee? So I turned it into a game. You pick one of 12 European cities, start with a sample budget or enter your own, and walk around. Wander into a London café and accidentally buy a £12 matcha. Meet someone who turns out to be a VC. Find a collaborator at a coworking space. In Berlin, a Friday night can get away from you. Keep playing across multiple days and see how the spending from your days affects your illustrative runway. The streets are miniature interpretations of real neighborhoods, with local landmarks and links to places you can explore further. The encounters and prices are fictional, so this is a playful starting point for discovering a city. I rebuilt and refined the game with GPT-6 Astra in Codex. It's free, runs in your browser, and saves your progress on your device. No signup needed. Which city did you try, and what very local thing should happen there next?
