Welcome to Solana Life
Solana Life is a social life game. You make a citizen, move into a small city, work, earn LIFE, keep your needs up and meet other players.
Creating your character
Making a citizen takes about a minute: pick a name and a look, then choose a starting background.
Understanding the game interface
The city fills the screen. Around it you have a menu of tabs, your needs, and the phone.
Your first day in the city
Start with a neighbor, a kitchen shift and a welcome gift for your permanently free starter Room.
Basic movement and navigation
Walk with the keyboard or your thumb, use things with E, and drive once you have a vehicle.
Understanding your phone
Your phone holds the apps you use every day: messages, map, wallet, jobs, homes, events and more.
Beginner gameplay guide
How the parts of Solana Life fit together, and the habits that make progress smooth.
Character profile
Your profile is how other players see you. It shows who you are, never how much LIFE you have.
Levels and XP
Every action gives XP. XP adds up to your level, and levels have no top.
Achievements and badges
Two collections track what you have done: trophies (in the Trophies app) and achievements (on the Me tab and your profile).
Energy, hunger and your other needs
You have five needs: energy, hunger, hygiene, mood and social. They fall over time and you fill them by eating, resting and doing things.
Character customisation
You set your face, skin and hair when you create your citizen. After that you change your look with clothes.
Inventory
Your backpack holds the food and items you have bought. Use them from the Inventory app or the Me tab.
Player progression
You grow in several ways at once: your level, your rank at each job, your career level, and what you own.
Understanding LIFE
LIFE is the one currency of Solana Life. You earn it by playing and spend it in the city.
How to earn LIFE
Every way the game pays LIFE today, from your first shift to running a business.
Jobs and careers
Jobs are quick shifts from the Jobs tab. Careers are hands-on work at real workplaces in the city.
Completing work shifts
A shift pays LIFE and XP straight away and costs energy. Then there is a break before your next one.
Salaries and rewards
What decides how much a shift pays, and what else rewards your work.
Player-owned businesses
Rent a shop unit on Market Row, stock it, set your prices and sell to other players. You can also build on land in a Business Quarter.
Buying and selling products
Where to buy food, clothes and goods, and how to sell things back.
Spending LIFE
What LIFE is for, and the costs to plan around.
The Bank: savings and loans
Keep LIFE in savings to earn interest, or take one loan at a time.
Daily streak and missions
Two small rewards every day: the streak for showing up, and missions for doing things.
Understanding city districts
Solana City has four districts: Downtown, Midtown, Harbor and Beach, plus a Residential Quarter and four Business Quarters.
Moving around the city
Walk, ride a bike, drive your own car, or pay for a cab. There are no free rides.
Finding buildings
Pick a place and a gold arrow leads you there, or let the game walk you.
Entering buildings
Walk to a door. When its mat lights up, press E or tap the prompt.
Using available facilities
What each building's counter or desk does. Walk up and press E or tap to use it.
Apartments and properties
Where you live, and the other property you can own.
Available public locations
Every place on the city map today, by district. Tap Show me to be guided there.
Player profiles
Every citizen has a public profile: avatar, name, level, job, home, trophies and items.
Friends
Add friends to see when they are online, where they are, and to message and join them.
Chat and messaging
Three ways to talk: private messages, the public town feed, and Solana Social posts.
Groups
Player groups (crews, clubs or guilds) are not in the game yet.
Events
Two kinds of events: city events that open on their own, and events players host at the Event Center.
Interacting with other players
Talk, dance, play and ride together. Doing things with other players raises mood and social.
Community activities
Things the whole city shares: the governor election, the leaderboards, events and the feeds.
Town Hall and elections
Every week the city elects a governor. Last week's winner sets a city policy for everyone.
Mini-games
Unwind after your shift with Sol Stack, Arcade Hoops and Circuit Puzzle, alongside Street Runner and the hands-on kitchen and DJ shifts.
Recreational activities
Ways to relax and lift your mood and social needs around the city.
Fitness activities
Train at the Fitness Center in Midtown to build fitness, earn XP and lift your mood.
Entertainment locations
The places to go out in Solana City.
Other activities
More things to do: learn, stay at the hotel, make designs, launch a token, and, if you want, use a real Solana wallet.
Apartments
Everyone starts in a Room. Six homes, from Room to Mansion, each with its own floor plan, sleep bonus and furniture space.
Furniture
Buy, place, move, store and sell furniture in your home. Better pieces do more for your needs.
Room customisation
Make your home yours: wall colours, floors, ceilings, lighting and the layout of the rooms.
Property interactions
Use the things in your home to look after your needs for free.
Other property features
Your plot in the Residential Quarter, visiting homes, and privacy.
