In Côte d’Ivoire, gaming is becoming a social, cultural, and even financial movement.

Phones Aren’t Just for WhatsApp Anymore

These days, even a basic Android device can run Free Fire or Dream League.

It’s second nature.

If you’re not scrolling TikTok, you’re trying to earn diamonds in a game.

Games That Actually Matter in Côte d’Ivoire

Well firstly, there’s Exscape – a unique platform where you can win prizes and compete against players from Ivory Coast, it has all your favourite games in one app!

Try it once and you’re hooked.

Forget Call of Duty. The real top dogs in CI are:

  • Free Fire CI – Light, fast, no cost. Perfect for budget phones.

  • Ludo Club / Ludo Star – Your uncle and your little cousin probably play this at the same time. We have an even better version of Ludo on Exscape!

  • Dream League Soccer – This beats the real football league in popularity some days.

No Need to Be a Pro Gamer to Earn

Ivorians are catching on: you don’t need to be an influencer or Twitch celebrity to earn and win.

People in Abobo are winning small rewards through mini-tournaments or by posting gameplay clips on TikTok. And now you can win on Exscape.

You just need:

  • An average phone

  • Some mobile data

  • A little skill

The Future Is Local

Sure, the big Western games dominate downloads.

But Ivorians want something with local flavor.

Something that sounds like them, looks like them.

That’s why Exscape could win hearts: imagine hearing

“Wôh garçon, tu vas perdre là !” mid-game.

You’ll remember it forever.
