The Broadway
What you can do

Your town, a little bit cosier.

Pop out for a coffee, help a neighbour, find the cat. It plays like a game and feels like a walk down the Broadway.

Walk the real streets

The Broadway, Leigh Road, North Street and Victoria Road, with every shop and every house drawn from the real thing. If you live here, you'll spot your road.

Go inside, order, sit down

Step into the cafes, pubs and shops. Order a flat white at Corner Club or chips from the chippy, find a seat by the window and watch the street go by.

Wave, cheer and chat using emotes and quick phrases like "Meet me at Corner Club!". There's no free typing, so it stays friendly.

Day and night

Runs on real Leigh time.

Morning light for the early birds, the school run, and lamps flickering on along the Broadway after dark. Shops open and close on their real hours, so the Broadway changes through the day.

    Example boards. Juniors and Teens are shown by first name only, never with a road.

    For families

    Safe by design.

    We built Leigh Life so we'd be happy for our own kids to play it. The safety bits aren't settings you have to find: they're how the game works.

    No free chat

    Players talk with emotes and set quick phrases only. Nobody can type a message to your child.

    Juniors stay private

    No house numbers, ever. Players under 18 never show where they live, not even their road.

    Parent accounts

    Under-13s play on a parent's account. You set a daily time limit and a PIN, and child profiles stay out of multiplayer.

    We never sell data

    No trackers and no selling your data. We collect as little as we can and you can delete your account any time.

    For local shops

    Your shop is already on the Broadway.

    Your real name and your real shopfront, already in the game, and players are already walking past it. Claim it for free and turn those visits into customers.

    FAQ

    Good questions.

    Anything else? Email hello@leighlife.co.uk and we'll get back to you.

    Is it free?

    Yes. Leigh Life is free to play in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. There's nothing to download.

    Do I need an account?

    Yes, a free one. Sign up with your email or Google, and your coins, stickers and progress are saved wherever you play.

    What age is it for?

    Everyone. Children under 13 play on a parent's account: a parent adds a child profile, sets a PIN and a daily time limit. Leagues are split into Juniors (under 18), Adults and Seniors.

    Is my address shown?

    No. House numbers are never shown to anyone. Adults can choose to show the name of their road (for example "Victoria Road"). Juniors never show where they live.

    I'm a shop owner. How do I claim my shop?

    Open the claim page in the game, find your shop and verify with your business email. It's free. Questions? Email hello@leighlife.co.uk.

    I found a mistake.

    Thank you! In the game, walk up to the shop or house and tap ⓘ on its card, or stand on the spot and tap ⚑, then tell us (a photo helps a lot). A wrong shop name, a missing house, a door in the wrong place: we fix them all.

    See you on the Broadway.

    Grab a coffee, say hello to Doris and keep an eye out for Biscuit.
