About & how to play
Ride with Brayo across Nairobi: a motorcycle adventure with missions, street cred and real road routes.
Best played in landscape. Start with Malcolm’s Rider School for one lesson at a time. Sound and fullscreen controls are available in the game.
Your first ride
- Hold GAS (right arrow) to accelerate. Hold BRAKE (left arrow) to slow down.
- Bike and Nganya overtaking default to Auto: Brayo passes slower traffic when the lane has room and returns after clearing it. Choose Auto or Manual in the menu or pause settings. The OVERTAKE button (O) works in both modes; hold it to pull out and release it to return. Rider School teaches manual control.
- Tap JUMP (Space) to hop. Hold WHEELIE above NITRO on the left (E or Q) to lift the front wheel. Desktop players can also press T for a trick when conditions allow.
- Use OYAAH (H) to wave while riding and call nearby fans: their reply earns street cred once per group per ride. Use NITRO (Shift or N) and TURN (R) when needed. Hold brake and gas for a burnout; release brake to launch.
- Plan fuel stops on the mini-map: stations are farther apart. Brake by the pump and release GAS for the attendant. Bigger tanks need coins, street cred and cumulative riding distance. Try locked gear and bike sounds in the Gear Shop; buying still needs the listed unlocks and coins. Stop at garages, shops and fans; answer Malcolm’s calls for missions.
- Swipe left or right across the mission card to cancel a mission. Accidents reduce hearts and street cred; light same-direction bumps let you continue with vehicle damage, while hard hits need recovery. Hand out stickers to earn street cred. Refill them at the OYAA gear shop; wear a helmet and obey road signs.
Choose your ride
Free Ride
Three hearts, missions and upgrades. After Google approval, one optional rewarded continue per Free Ride can restore a full fuel tank when stranded or one heart after a crash. Restart and menu remain available without an ad.
Cup Ride
One life. Chase your personal best and ghost. No interrupting ads in Cup rounds.
Online Race
Choose Bike sprint, Passenger dash (everyone carries the same young or old passenger), Nganya rush, Street cred showdown or Police chase. Create a private room and copy an invite for your crew. Street cred races rank completed riders by cred; speeding starts the police chase. Online races have no interrupting ads.
