Frequently asked questions

Kopi Kaki is a free, Singapore-made, retro pixel-art social game you play in your web browser: create an avatar, hang out in a virtual kopitiam, make friends, play arcade mini-games and board games, adopt a pet, work jobs for Kaki Dollars and decorate your own room.

Yes. Kopi Kaki is completely free to play. There is nothing to buy with real money, and the in-game currency, Kaki Dollars, is earned by playing.

Yes. Kopi Kaki is made in Singapore and set in Singapore-inspired places: a kopitiam, a hawker centre, an HDB void deck, Merlion Park, an office tower at Raffles Place and a shopping mall. Chat is in English, and Singlish is very welcome.

In Singapore and Malaysia, a "kopi kaki" is a coffee buddy: the friends you meet regularly for kopi and a chat. That is exactly what the game is about.

No. Kopi Kaki runs in any modern web browser on a computer, tablet or phone. Just open the game and play.

Kopi Kaki is for players aged 13 and up. Chat is filtered for bad language, players can ignore or report anyone, room owners can remove people from their rooms, and moderators can mute or ban players who break the rules. Parents should still talk with their teens about staying safe online, such as never sharing their address, school or phone number.

You can design your avatar, make friends and message them, chat and hang out, order drinks at the kopitiam, play arcade mini-games like Kopi Catch and the Dragon Boat Race, play Chinese chess, checkers, Connect Four, tic-tac-toe, snakes and ladders, poker and Singapore mahjong, adopt and care for a pet, work jobs to earn Kaki Dollars, open a shop in the mall, and build and decorate your own rooms.

Yes. Add friends in the game, see which room they are in, join them with one tap, invite them to your room and send private messages. You can play board games, card games and the Dragon Boat Race together.

Yes. Adopt a cat, dog, parrot, rabbit, hamster, tortoise or Singapore otter at the Pet Shop. Pets follow you around, need feeding, play and baths like a Tamagotchi, learn tricks and can dig for treasure. They never die.

No. Poker and mahjong are played for fun chips that have no value and disappear when you leave the table. Kaki Dollars cannot be bought with or exchanged for real money.

Kaki Dollars are the in-game currency. You earn them with a daily allowance, by working jobs and by winning board games, and spend them on furniture and clothes. They are play money only: they cannot be bought with or exchanged for real money.

Log in daily for your allowance, work shifts as a barista, office clerk, mall cashier or hawker chef, score well in arcade mini-games, win board games and the Dragon Boat Race against other players, let your pet dig for treasure, and sell items in your own shop.

Yes. Kopi Kaki works in mobile browsers: tap to walk, drag to look around, and the menus adapt to small screens.
