Last updated 2026-10-04. Short, because the game is small: a free walk through a drawn Beirut, with a chat in it.
Play Beirut is free and offered as it is. Be decent to the people you meet on its streets, keep your words your own, and remember the city is a drawing, not a map.
These terms are between you and Play Beirut's maker, Sippi, who runs playbeirut.life. By opening the game you accept them. If you do not, do not play. You must be at least 13 years old, or the age at which you may use an online service where you live if that is higher.
Play Beirut is given free, as a personal project, with no warranty of any kind. It may change, pause or stop at any time, and features (the online players, the chat, the challenges) may be withdrawn or altered without notice. We do our best to keep it up, but we promise no availability, no accuracy and no fitness for any purpose.
The city in it is hand-drawn from the real Beirut. Streets, buildings, shop signs and names are an artistic rendering: nothing in it is a map to navigate by, and no business, institution or person whose name or sign appears in the drawing is affiliated with, or has endorsed, the game.
What you write in the group chat and in private messages is yours. By posting it you give Play Beirut a licence to show it in the game, to keep it as part of the chat's history, and to hide or remove it. You promise that it is yours to post and that it breaks no law and none of the rules below.
The people of the city swear as Beirut swears, and so may you, within these limits. You may not:
Three reports from other players hide a message for everyone. The maker may hide any message and may block a player who breaks these rules, without notice and without appeal. If you think a message of yours was hidden wrongly, write to contact@playbeirut.life.
The game, its drawings, its words, its phrasebook and its code are the maker's, all rights reserved, except for the open-source libraries it is built on, which keep their own licences (three.js, for one, under the MIT licence). You may play it, share links to it and talk about it freely. You may not copy, sell or redistribute the game or its drawings without the maker's written permission.
The support button leads to Ko-fi. A donation is a gift to the maker: voluntary, non-refundable, and bound by Ko-fi's own terms. It buys no feature, no good and no service, and it does not change these terms for you.
To the fullest extent the law allows, the maker is not liable for any loss or damage arising from the game, from its being unavailable, from anything another player posted, or from anything you did on the real streets after walking the drawn ones. Where the law does not allow such a limit, the maker's liability is limited to what the law permits.
What the game keeps and sends is set out on its privacy page, which is part of these terms.
These terms are governed by the laws of Lebanon. If a court finds one line of them unenforceable, the rest stand. They may change; the date at the top says when they last did, and playing after a change is accepting it.
