We finished the LagosLife ZUKO hunt and received ticket #113189 to Fireboy’s Mansion. The useful parts of the trip were the small mistakes: a glowing letter escaped after a slow attempt, and the airport map button opened a flight-booking screen when all we needed was the building. [1]
Here is the route we actually completed on 16 October 2026, from the first glowing Z to the mansion entrance. It is a tested route, not a claim that this is the fastest possible order.

Five finds. One mansion invitation. Here is the route we completed.
Our first Z slipped away. The prompt said: tap 3 times, quickly.
Z: Lagoon Boat Cruise. The next attempt worked.
U: Naija Radio House. Two down, three to go.
K: Teslim Balogun Stadium. Three out of five.
At the airport, choose “Not flying?” We did not buy a flight.
O: Murtala Muhammed Airport. Only the final symbol left.
!: Jibowu Motor Park. All five found.
Ticket #113189 was ours. Next stop: Fireboy’s Mansion.
We entered the mansion. The party scene was open to us.
Golden 100: the first 100 on the wall. It is not a 100-person entry limit.
A postcard to end the hunt. Our route, tested on 16 Oct 2026.
The five locations we successfully checked
| Piece | Location | What our screen confirmed |
|---|---|---|
| Z | Lagoon Boat Cruise | First piece collected; progress 1/5 |
| U | Naija Radio House | Second piece collected; progress 2/5 |
| K | Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere | Third piece collected; progress 3/5 |
| O | Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja | Fourth piece collected; progress 4/5 |
| ! | Jibowu Motor Park, Yaba | All five found; mansion ticket issued |
The task asks you to solve the location riddles, travel there and catch a character when it glows. At Lagoon Boat Cruise, the Z appeared as a glowing button. One slow attempt left it asking for two more taps, then it escaped. The message explicitly asked for three quick taps. Our next rapid triple tap worked.
That means finding the right location is only half the action. Be ready to tap the glowing character three times promptly, then check the progress counter. We did not measure a precise timing window.
At the airport, use the “Not flying?” entrance
Clicking the airport on our map opened Departures, complete with destinations, cabin classes and a Book button. That was not the route we needed for O.
Near the top was “Not flying? Go to Murtala Muhammed →”. Selecting it opened the airport’s normal location and transport panel. We took a ₦300 Keke from the stadium, arrived at the airport and collected O. We bought no flight.
The final stop worked similarly: we travelled to Jibowu Motor Park, collected the glowing exclamation mark and completed the hunt without buying an interstate bus ticket.
A mansion ticket and the Golden 100 mean different things
After the final catch, the game displayed our numbered ticket and a button to enter Fireboy’s Mansion. We used it and reached the party scene. The ticket remained available in the main interface afterward.
Inside, the Golden 100 panel explained that the first hundred people to find ZUKO would remain on the mansion’s wall. Our ticket was #113189, and we still entered the mansion. The early-finisher wall and access after completing the hunt are therefore distinct in this test. We did not receive or test a Golden 100 place.
There were also Postcard and Listen to ZUKO! buttons. We opened the postcard preview; we did not publish it to a social account.
Pack energy as well as fare money
We walked to the first location, then paid Keke fares of ₦350, ₦300, ₦300 and ₦250 between the remaining stops. A ₦150 ride took us home. Those recorded fares totalled ₦1,350; a separate Area Boys encounter cost another ₦400.
Our Energy was down to 25 near the end. Back home, the character entered Sleep and eventually reached 100 Energy, with the mansion ticket still visible. Check your needs during the trip: solving the last riddle does not refill them for you.
