How to play Baper Rasta
The official guide to বাপের রাস্তা · বাংলায় পড়ুন
Baper Rasta (বাপের রাস্তা) is a free satirical driving game set on the streets of Dhaka. You drive a battery auto-rickshaw, crash into cars, bikes and shops to raise the "National Loss", keep away from buses and trucks, and get away before the crowd catches you. It runs in the browser on phones and computers, with no download and no account. The name comes from a line every Dhaka driver has heard: "রাস্তা কি তোর বাপের?", "Is this road your father's?", or in plain English, "Do you own the road?"

What's new
Updated 31 October 2026
- Fishing in the potholes. Some potholes have filled with water, and a man sits at the edge with a rod, a bucket and a sign. Knock him down and he loses his rod and comes after you.
- Paddy on the road. On the broken roads, water has turned a patch into a tiny paddy field, and a farmer is planting it. Drive through it and he'll tell you off.
- Mud. Here and there, a hundred metres of broken road and mud slows the auto to just over half its speed. The roads round Jatrabari and Tongi almost always have it. In some potholes the neighbours have planted a banana tree.
- Hawker zones. In the market streets, hawkers take the footpath and the edge of the road, the traffic squeezes past, and the hawkers call out their wares.
- Fly over a blockade. The protesters' handcart is now a ramp: drive up it and the auto takes off like a rocket, for ৳3,000.
- New places. Novotheatre, Karwan Bazar, Bashundhara City, Ananda cinema hall and the long queue outside the passport office.
How to play
- Crash into things. Cars, bikes, CNGs, rickshaws, shops: whatever you break adds its price to the National Loss. Crashes in quick succession build a combo, and the combo multiplies the loss. Hitting the same vehicle again pays nothing.
- One touch of a bus or truck ends the run. They don't see you and they don't brake. A red ring on the road under them means keep away.
- The crowd will chase you. After a crash, people run after the auto and grab on. Three of them holding on, or stopping while anyone holds on, means a public beating. Boost or steer hard to shake them off.
- Battery low? Stop on the yellow pad by an electric pole, wired straight from the mains. While you charge, the neighbourhood around you loses power. The arrow under the map points to the nearest pad and says how far it is.
- Sunday Monday Close. During a chase, the arrow under the map points to the pink bay instead. Roll in slowly, মামা (the traffic cop) takes his tea money, the case is closed and the chase is over. The tea money comes out of your own National Loss: 20% of it the first time in a run, 10 points more each time after, up to 60%, and never less than ৳500. If your loss is too small to cover it, মামা sends you off: "That won't even buy a cup of tea."
Controls
On a computer
| W or ↑ | Drive |
| S or ↓ | Brake |
| A D or ← → | Steer |
| Space or Shift | Boost: faster, uses more charge, drives even without ↑ |
| H | Horn: rickshaws, autos, bikes and CNGs ahead edge aside |
| B | Sound bomb: small vehicles ahead get out of the way |
| M | Sound on or off |
| Enter or Space | Start from the menu |
| Enter or R | Play again from the newspaper |
| Esc | From the newspaper back to the menu |
Some keyboards can't register ↑, ← and Space together. If boosting stops your turn, use the right Shift instead of Space, or let go of ↑ and hold only Space: the boost drives the auto by itself.
On a phone
Your left thumb has two arrows for steering, with the horn and the sound bomb above them. Your right thumb has the big Drive button in the corner. Held upright, Boost sits above Drive and Brake beside it; held on its side, Boost sits above Brake, both beside Drive. You can slide from one button to the next without lifting your thumb. It plays upright or on its side.
Tips
- On the wrong side of the road every crash is worth half as much again. The buses and trucks come at you head on, though.
- Brushing past a bus or truck at speed is a near miss, even when it is standing still, and it pays.
- A harder crash is worth more than a gentle one. Scrape past a car and its side mirror breaks, for ৳500 each.
- When a VIP car shows up with a red marker over it, hit it: about ৳10,000 in one go. A police car is worth about ৳8,000, but hit one and its siren goes off and the two cops inside come after you, fast.
- Find a yellow pad before the battery runs out. On an empty battery the auto crawls at under half its speed, and the crowd catches up easily.
- Potholes only jolt you. A branch with a red rag stuck in the road marks an open manhole, though, and a roadworks sign means a trench ahead. Neither can end a run in its first 20 seconds, and the first one you drop into only jolts you as a warning. After that, drop the front wheel in and the run is over.
- A blockade closes your side of the road. Go round through a gap in the median, or drive up the protesters' handcart and fly over them. You don't need to boost; normal speed is enough, unless the battery is empty. The flight pays ৳3,000, and tearing their banner ৳1,500.
- Stalls in a hawker zone pay, but they lift the combo only to ×3 and each counts as half a crash. Smash too many and the hawkers lose their temper and come running from ahead too. In the end they wind a saree round your wheel, the auto crawls, and the crowd catches you.
- The pink women's bus (মহিলা বাস) sees you and brakes for you. Touch it and the run still ends.
Where you drive
The streets are laid over the real map of Dhaka. The junctions on the metro road are the MRT Line 6 stations, from Motijheel up to Uttara, with real areas on either side: Old Dhaka, Dhanmondi, Tejgaon, Gulshan, Banani. A run starts at Shahbag, Gulistan, Mirpur 10, Uttara or Jatrabari; at Uttara, planes come in to land low over the road. Each junction's name shows as you come up to it.
On the way you pass the Central Shaheed Minar, Aparajeyo Bangla, Curzon Hall, the National Parliament House, Baitul Mukarram, Kamalapur station, the Mirpur stadium, Hatirjheel, the Independence Monument in Suhrawardy Udyan, the National Museum, Shapla Chattar, Karwan Bazar, Bashundhara City, Ananda cinema hall, Novotheatre, the Mohakhali bus terminal and the queue at the passport office. There are flower shops at Shahbag, Ekushey painted on the metro pillars near Dhaka University, and cricket near the stadium. The time of day changes from run to run: morning, afternoon, dusk or night.
The newspaper and the Most Wanted board
When a run ends, it makes the front page of the Daily Traffic Jam (দৈনিক যানজট): a headline, a photo from the scene, and "this money could have bought", your loss priced in the country's own famous spending, such as millimetres of the Padma bridge. Share the page as a picture or a short video. A shared link carries your loss and where you started, so a friend who opens it starts at the same place, with a dare to beat it.
The Most Wanted poster (মোস্ট ওয়ান্টেড) lists the biggest National Loss of the week and of all time. You can put your name on it, and it shows the top 20. A new week starts at midnight between Friday and Saturday, Dhaka time.
Questions
Is Baper Rasta free?
Yes, all of it. No download and no account: open BaperRasta.com in a browser and play.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in the browser on Android phones and iPhones, and on computers. On a cheaper phone the game lowers its own graphics so it keeps running smoothly.
Can I install it?
Yes. In Chrome and Edge, a download button appears beside the play button on the menu; on an iPhone it shows you the steps. It doesn't appear inside Facebook's or Messenger's own browser, so open the link in Chrome first. Opened from its home-screen icon, it plays full screen, even offline.
Is there a Baper Rasta APK?
No, there is no APK. Play in the browser, or install it from the menu's download button. A Google Play app is coming soon. Don't install a "Baper Rasta" APK from any other site: I didn't make them, and they can put your phone at risk.
Where is Baper Rasta 2.0?
There is no Baper Rasta 2.0. The real game updates itself at BaperRasta.com, and everything new comes here first. Anything running under the name "2.0" on another site is an old copy: it won't get anything new, and your name won't go on the Most Wanted poster from there.
Which site is the official one?
BaperRasta.com is the only official home of Baper Rasta. If the game runs on any other site under this name, I don't run it. Your name only goes on the Most Wanted poster when you play here.
Who made it?
Omar Faruqe Riyad, a software engineer in Dhaka.
Does the game want me to do any of this for real?
No. It is satire about the chaos on our roads. Don't do any of it on a real road. See the disclaimer (in Bangla).
