# Namma Benglooru

> Namma Benglooru ("our Bengaluru", said the way the city says it; formerly called Namma Ooru) is a free open-world game set in Bengaluru (Bangalore), India, that you play in a laptop or desktop web browser: no download, no install, no account, no sign-up. Chapter 1, "Koramangala", launches on Sunday 1 November 2026, Kannada Rajyotsava. It is made by an indie developer in Bengaluru.

Key facts (kept in step with the press fact sheet at https://benglooru.com/press/):

- Website: https://benglooru.com/
- Play: https://benglooru.com/play/ (opens straight into the game)
- Price: free.
- Platform: a web browser on a laptop or desktop (Chrome, Edge or Firefox with WebGL2), keyboard and mouse; a gamepad works too. Not on phones yet; phone visitors can send the link to their laptop.
- Genre: open world, action, driving. Single player.
- Setting: Bengaluru, one area at a time. Chapter 1 is Koramangala (80 Feet Road, Hosur Road, Sarjapur Road and the blocks between), rebuilt from OpenStreetMap street data.
- Weather: the in-game sky follows the live weather over Koramangala, so when it rains in Bengaluru, it rains in the game.
- Story: you arrive as a new delivery rider with one bag and a backlog: eight story missions and four side stories.
- Between missions: eighteen kinds of vehicle (scooters, autos, buses, water tankers, an ambulance, a fire engine and more), police chases with a wanted level, fights, street races, odd jobs (paramedic, firefighter, vigilante, taxi, delivery), five radio stations of original music, photo mode, and a button that saves the last 15 seconds as a video.
- Cheats are typed as words, most of them Kannada: MACHA, KASU, MALEBANTHU, SILKBOARD and more.
- Languages: voices in Kannada and English, mixed the way the city talks; text and captions in English.
- Saves: progress stays in the player's own browser; a save file can move it to another computer.
- Names: every shop, brand and business in the game is a parody. The streets are real.

## Frequently asked

- Is it free? Yes. Free to play in your browser, nothing to download or pay.
- Does it work on a phone? Not yet. It needs a laptop or desktop with a keyboard (or a controller).
- Do I need an account? No. Press Play and you are in Koramangala.
- Will my laptop run it? Most recent laptops do, in a recent Chrome, Edge or Firefox. On older machines the game lowers its own quality.
- Why is the first load slow? The first visit downloads the neighbourhood once; after that it opens in seconds.
- Is the map real? The roads are, from OpenStreetMap, squeezed a little to fit a game. Every business in it is a parody.
