What you do in Marathahalli

You are Meera, new in the city with a red scooter, a PG room and a rider job at the Haptags Dash store.

Riding a scooter through Marathahalli traffic in the game

Ride real streets

Outer Ring Road, Varthur Road, the bridge and the lanes behind them, laid out from OpenStreetMap. About 4,000 buildings, each where the map puts it.

Day, night and monsoon

The sun crosses the sky in 24 minutes. The weather starts from the live sky over Marathahalli, so if it is raining outside, it is raining in the game.

Driving a green and yellow auto rickshaw

Five ways to get around

Scooter, auto, hatchback, taxi and the city bus. Every one is drivable. Every one has a horn, and you will use it.

Three story missions

A first delivery, a rush-hour race to the tech park and a favour for Gowda Uncle. See the missions.

Quick answers

Is Haptags City really free?

Yes. It is free to play in your browser, with nothing to buy inside it.

Does it work on a phone?

Not yet. It needs a keyboard and mouse, or a gamepad. On a phone, tap Send to my laptop and open the link there.

Is the map the real Marathahalli?

The roads and building footprints come from OpenStreetMap, so you will recognise the junctions. The roads are flat and simplified, and every shop name is made up.

Will my laptop run it?

Most laptops from the last few years will. The game lowers its own graphics quality if it starts to stutter. More in the FAQ.
