Generating your story...
Behind every delivery, every ride, every task completed on demand, there is a person.
This game puts you inside the lives of people connected to gig work in East Africa — a worker, a tech executive, a government official, an advocate. Their stories are real in the ways that matter: the pressures, the trade-offs, the hope, the precarity.
Choose a persona. Ask them anything.
Each character will answer through their story — and the choices you make will shape how that story unfolds.
There are no right answers here. Only perspectives.
And at the end, you'll know something true about what it takes to make gig work fair.
