Frequently asked questions

What exactly is Gbanga?

Gbanga is a virtual world created by our mobile phones and real-time connected to our daily life. Installing Gbanga on your mobile phone allows you to explore the world of Gbanga by physically navigating across your city. By walking around you will also move around areas of Gbanga and discover new places, find cool objects, build, trade and also...meet some Gbangoos. Watch our video tour "Gbanga in Plain English".

Why should I install and play Gbanga on my mobile phone?

Because it will add fun to your world! Every time you're waiting for a bus, walking in the street, waiting for a friend and so on you can have a look at the Gbanga world and do something interesting in the place where you are. You can see where your friends are, play stories, receive news about events, products and win cool prizes. You can meet new people, share experiences and make every place you go a place full of interesting things to do.

How can I install Gbanga during the beta testing phase with Swisscom Labs?

You first have to register. After that, the installation instructions are then sent to you.

How much does it cost to play Gbanga?

Gbanga is for free but you need an internet connection with your phone. Please refer to your operator's terms and costs for a mobile internet connection.

What is a Gbangoo?

Gbangoos are creatures living in the world of Gbanga. You can carry them inside your phone, drop them in some area of Gbanga and make them find things for you, build constructions and so on. Gbangoos will also be helpful if you want to play some quest inside Gbanga.

How do I play Gbanga Famiglia?

To play Gbanga Famiglia, search for a valuable item (notes, rings, diamonds etc.) and pick it up. You will receive a friendship invitation from a Famiglia character. Accept it and you will receive a special Gbangoo that will allow you to take over establishments all around the world.

How do I take over restaurants, bars etc.?

It's simple! Just drop your Mafia Gbangoo in your current cell and let him/her do the job! You can check the result of the take over by looking at the establishments details and check if the owner became your Famiglia character. If not this means your take over failed and you can try again to drop your Mafia Gbangoo in 10 minutes. Additionally, your Gbangoo will shout a message in the cell to notify you about the result (Warning: this feature might not be ready for the beta testing phase).

How do I add friends?

You can add new friends simply by launching Gbanga on your phone, go to the friends menu and choose "add new friend". You can then type username, phone number or e-mail adress to quickly put your friends in your contacts. If you want to meet new people inside Gbanga, just look for Gbangoos and they will tell you the name of their owner. Check out the tutorial video about adding friends.

How do I navigate the world of Gbanga?

It's easy! Start Gbanga on your phone and walk somewhere! To every area of our planet earth corresponds an area of Gbanga, so for example if you go from your home to your school, work or anywhere else you will see new areas and their name showing up on your screen. You can also discover and name new areas yourself!

How do I discover new areas of Gbanga?

Simply navigate the world and go where nobody else has ever been. If you're the first person to visit a certain area of Gbanga you can name it and put your flag on it.

What can I do if my phone is not in the supported list?

Unfortunately Gbanga is only compatible with certain mobile phones. We are trying to make the game available for more models so check our updates to find if your phone has been added to our list.

I received the link to install the game but the installation doesn't work, why?

Check your profile on www.gbanga.com to see if you have entered the correct mobile phone model. If the model entered is correct, please contact support@gbanga.com for support.

I installed the game but I can't log in, why?

Be sure you entered the right username and password. If you experience connection problems it may due to an overload of our servers because of too many players connecting at the same time, please try again later. Contact support@gbanga.com if the problem persists.

Thank you for your interest in Gbanga. Please sign up to be the first to be notified when we are fully ready. Gbanga is free. No strings attached!

Note: We know what Mafia people do to those who pass on information. So we rather shut up and won't hand over your data to third parties.
