Mai Suya locations
Your stall can stand in five places, from Agege to Victoria Island. Each opens as your takings grow; the further you go, the more suya sells for and the more customers expect. The places are named after Lagos areas; their crowds and rules are game design, not a picture of the real neighbourhoods.

How do I open each place?
A place opens when the stall’s total takings (sales and tips, every night added up) reach its mark. Surulere also opens on day 3. Pick tonight’s place on the morning screen’s “Place” tab.

Is a Lekki suya game night like a Victoria Island suya game night?
Close, with Victoria Island the harder of the two. Both want suya in a box and a cold drink with it. Victoria Island pays 1.18× the menu price against 1.12× in Lekki, its stall fee is ₦6,300 a night against ₦3,800, and its customers wait 70% as long as in Agege, against 80% in Lekki. It opens at ₦500,000 of total takings, Lekki at ₦200,000.
Which place should I pick tonight?
The newest place you have opened usually earns the most: suya sells for more there, and the stall fee is small next to it. Move up once you can serve its customers well: Lekki and Victoria Island want boxes and cold drinks.
