How to play
Getting started
You start on foot on the main road of Ghat Para, a neighbourhood of Dhaka, with a motorbike, a rickshaw and a CNG parked at the kerb. Drag anywhere on the left half of the screen to walk; the further you drag, the faster you go, from a stroll to a sprint. Drag on the right half to look around.
When you stand next to a vehicle a yellow RIDE button appears. Tap it to climb on. Tap GET OFF to step down again. JUMP makes your rider hop over kerbs and low walls.
Riding
Hold GO to accelerate and BRAKE to slow down; hold BRAKE when stopped to reverse. Steer with the arrow buttons on the left. Tap a button for a small nudge and hold it for a full turn. HORN rings the horn, or the bell on a rickshaw.
Each ride handles differently. The motorbike is fast (up to about 96 km/h) and leans into corners. The rickshaw is slow (about 24 km/h) but turns tightly in narrow lanes, and your rider pedals. The CNG sits in between (about 62 km/h). Wet roads in the rain have less grip, so brake earlier.
Traffic keeps to the left, as it does in Bangladesh. Buses, CNGs, cars and rickshaws stop for you if you are in their way, and people on the pavement step aside. Nobody gets hurt.
Reading the screen
Top left: a round map that turns with your camera, so up is always where you are looking. Roads are pale, the river bank is blue, the white arrow is you and the dot is where your job is. Next to it are your money (৳) and the time of day.
Top centre: an arrow and a distance pointing to the courier desk, or to your delivery, with the seconds left. Top right: MENU, PHOTO, VIEW and PHONE. Active powers and how long they last are listed under the clock.
Deliveries and money
Your job is courier. The yellow ring and beam outside the bazaar gate is the courier desk. Ride into it and you get a parcel and an address: the river ghat, the college gate, the tea stall corner, the boat jetty and other places around the district. The ring turns green and moves to the drop-off.
Reach the green ring before the timer runs out for the best pay. Every delivery pays ৳60 plus ৳2 for each second left on the timer, so fast and direct beats careful and slow. There is no penalty for being late; you just earn less.
When you arrive, a card shows what you earned. Double it by watching a short video, take the next delivery straight away, or stop working and ride around freely. Money is saved on your phone and is spent on unlocking rides.
Unlocking rides
The motorbike and the rickshaw are free from the start. The CNG is locked: when you try to get on, you can unlock it for good for ৳800 of game money, or watch a short video to ride it until you close the game.
Anything you call with a phone code is yours to ride for the rest of the session.
The phone and codes
Tap PHONE, type a number on the keypad and press CALL. A vehicle or animal arrives right in front of you, a power switches on, or the sky changes. Tap CODES on the phone to see every code the game knows. A wrong number gets “This number is not in service”.
Codes marked with a star are premium: they ask you to watch a short video first. After buying “Remove ads”, premium codes work without a video. New codes are added from time to time and arrive by themselves when you are online, with no update needed.
Weather, time and the river
A full day passes in about 14 minutes: golden hour in the late afternoon, neon signs and lit windows at night, then dawn. Monsoon rain rolls in and out; the roads turn slippery and the sky turns grey. Codes can set the time or the weather whenever you like.
The river is open to explore. Walk down the ghat steps and swim, or call a boat with code 7070 and row out past the moored launch. Bikes and CNGs crawl in the water, so use the boat.
Photo mode
Tap PHOTO to freeze the game. Drag to move the camera around your rider. POSE cycles through dances and poses when you are on foot, and LIGHT steps through golden hour, dusk, night, dawn and midday. Tap SHARE to save the picture and open your phone’s share sheet. On Android 10 and later the picture is also saved in Pictures › Rasta Raja. Tap DONE to carry on playing.
Settings and the shop
MENU opens the settings. Choose the language (English or বাংলা), the steering (buttons, tilt or slide), the graphics (Low, Medium or High), sound on or off, and a frame-rate counter. “Bring my ride here” brings your last vehicle to you after a short video. About lists the credits and links to the privacy policy and terms.
The Shop has “Remove ads” and two packs of game money (৳2,000 and ৳10,000), bought through Google Play. Use “Restore purchases” on a new phone with the same Google account to get “Remove ads” back.
All phone codes
Open the phone, type the number and press CALL. Codes marked premium ask for a short video unless you have bought “Remove ads”. New codes arrive by themselves when you are online, so your game may know more than this list.

Steering styles
Change the steering style in MENU › Steering while riding. Your choice is remembered.
- Buttons
- Two arrow buttons on the left. A tap nudges, a hold turns fully. The most precise choice and the default.
- Tilt
- Tilt the phone left and right like a steering wheel. Hold the phone flat in landscape and tilt gently.
- Slide
- Put your thumb anywhere on the left half and slide it sideways. The further you slide, the harder you turn.
Questions and answers
Is Rasta Raja free?
Yes. The game is free and shows adverts. Videos are always your choice, and an occasional full-screen advert can appear between deliveries. A one-time “Remove ads” purchase stops those. There is no subscription.
Will an advert interrupt me while I am riding?
No. Full-screen adverts appear only when you choose “Next delivery” on the delivery card, never while you are moving, never in your first five minutes and at most once every three minutes. Every other video is one you chose to watch for a reward.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The whole game works without the internet. Online you also get new phone codes, and the videos and the shop need a connection. If no video can load, rewards that would need one are simply given to you.
Which phones can run it?
Android 7.0 or newer. The game picks Low, Medium or High graphics from your phone’s memory when you first start it. On older phones with 2 or 3 GB of memory, Low keeps it smooth with fewer people and a shorter view. You can change it any time in MENU › Graphics.
The game feels slow on my phone. What can I do?
Set MENU › Graphics to Low and restart the game, close other apps, and switch on MENU › Frame rate to see the effect. If it is still slow, email the frame rate and your phone model to [email protected].
How do I steer more smoothly?
Try the three steering styles in MENU › Steering. Tap rather than hold the arrows for small corrections, and ease off GO before a sharp turn. On the rickshaw, slow down before corners; it tips its speed into the turn.
How do I get more money?
Deliver parcels quickly: every delivery pays ৳60 plus ৳2 for each second left on the timer. Double a delivery’s pay with a short video. Money packs are also available in the shop, but you never need them.
Where do I find the courier desk?
It is the yellow ring outside the red bazaar gate, on the main road. When you are not on a job, the arrow at the top of the screen and the yellow dot on the map always point to it.
I typed a code and nothing happened.
Check that you pressed CALL and that the number matches exactly, including leading zeros such as 0505. Premium codes (marked with a star) ask you to watch a video first. Tap CODES on the phone for the full list.
Where do new codes come from?
New codes are added on our server and reach the game the next time it starts while you are online. You do not need to update the app. The CODES tab always shows what your game knows.
My boat will not move.
Boats only float on the river. If you call one on land it is placed on the water just past the bank; walk down the ghat steps, swim to it and climb on.
Where are my photos?
On Android 10 and later, in Pictures › Rasta Raja in your gallery. On every phone, SHARE opens the share sheet so you can send the picture straight to WhatsApp, Messenger or any other app.
Can I play in Bangla?
Yes. Choose বাংলা in MENU › Language. If your phone is set to Bangla, the game starts in Bangla.
Will I lose my progress?
Your money, unlocked rides, settings and where you left your rider are saved on your phone every few seconds and when you leave the game. They are lost if you clear the app’s data or uninstall it, because there is no account. “Remove ads” can be restored with Restore purchases.
I bought “Remove ads” but still see adverts.
Open MENU › Shop and tap Restore purchases while online, signed in to the same Google account you bought it with. If a payment is still pending with Google Play, it arrives when Google confirms it.
Can I hurt people or crash into them?
No. People step out of your way and traffic stops for you. There is no fighting, shooting or blood. The game is made for players aged 13 and over.
Are the shops and vehicles real?
No. All shops, brands, vehicles and people in Rasta Raja are made up. Ghat Para is an imagined neighbourhood inspired by Dhaka’s streets.
Will there be more cities?
The game is built so that cities, vehicles and codes can be added as packs. Dhaka comes first; more of South Asia is planned.
Does the game collect my data?
The game itself collects nothing about you and has no account. Google AdMob, which shows the adverts, collects some data; the privacy policy explains what and how to change your choices in MENU › Privacy choices.
How do I report a bug or suggest an idea?
Email [email protected]. A screenshot and your phone model help a lot.
Fair by design
The game is free and shows adverts, but never while you are riding. Videos are always your choice: watch one to call a premium code, ride a locked vehicle for the session or double a delivery’s pay. A one-time purchase removes the rest; there is no subscription.
Nobody gets hurt: people step out of your way, and there is no fighting or shooting. All shops, brands and vehicles in the game are made up.
There is no account. Your progress and photos stay on your phone.
