All five ZUKO locations
| Symbol | Destination | Area | What to do when you arrive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Z | Boat Cruise on Lagos Lagoon | Five Cowries Creek, Ikoyi | Start the lagoon boat ride and look for the symbol on the water. |
| U | Naija Radio House | Ikeja | Enter the radio-house area and watch for the glowing U. |
| K | Teslim Balogun Stadium | Surulere | Follow the clue toward the stands and look for K. |
| O | Murtala Muhammed Airport | Ikeja | Use the non-flight entrance to visit the airport. |
| ! | Jibowu Motor Park | Yaba | Enter the motor-park area and look for the final punctuation mark. |
The fifth piece is an exclamation mark, not another alphabetic letter. Count collected slots in the hunt panel rather than assuming that spelling ZUKO alone finishes the event. The clue order above matches the five slots; it is a checklist, not a measured fastest-travel route.
Open the hunt before spending on travel
Use the Find ZUKO! entry in the game interface. Open each missing piece to read its clue and check your existing progress. If you already collected a symbol, leave that destination off your remaining travel list. Record the missing letter and its place before closing the panel.
Restore low needs and retain money for transport and food. A trip through several venues can leave a character needing recovery before the last stop. The needs guide helps you choose the appropriate action instead of paying for a visit that does not solve the low bar.
Confirm that the hunt panel is currently available. The client includes a scheduled end, so a working destination on the ordinary map does not by itself prove that its event piece can still be collected. Use the event notice above when returning to this guide later.
Find Z on the lagoon boat ride
The water clue points to the Boat Cruise departing from the Five Cowries Creek area in Ikoyi. Reaching the shore is only the preparation step: take the lagoon ride and watch for the piece while on the water.
Keep the hunt's missing-Z clue in mind as you select the activity. A different water-related location or an unrelated ferry trip is not the same destination. When the glowing piece becomes available, use its catch button promptly rather than returning to the map to search for a separate collectible icon.
Once the catch succeeds, reopen the hunt panel and check that Z is filled. That progress check is more useful than repeatedly buying another ride because you did not notice the success state. Save further transport spending for a slot that remains empty.
Visit Radio, Stadium and Jibowu
For U, choose Naija Radio House in Ikeja. The clue refers to broadcasting and the studio. For K, choose Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere; the clue directs you toward the stands. The Stadium guide explains the venue separately from the hunt.
For !, use Jibowu Motor Park in Yaba. The destination has transport and food actions, but the hunt piece belongs to the park visit. An intercity bus ticket is not a requirement stated by this clue, so finish looking for the symbol before committing to travel away from Lagos.
A practical planning option is to handle the two Ikeja destinations during the same part of your session, then work through your remaining districts. Your starting position and travel choices affect the useful order. This grouping is an editorial suggestion, not a claim that it minimizes fares or journey time.
Get into the airport without buying a flight
Selecting the airport can bring up the flight interface. Look for the Not flying? Go to … option, which opens the airport visit instead of completing a flight purchase. The O clue explicitly points to the airport without requiring a flight.
Use that visit route and inspect the hunt prompt there. Buying a ticket to Abuja or Port Harcourt would solve a different travel problem and could take you away from the Lagos piece you still need. Keep your existing hunt progress visible so you can tell whether O was already collected.
If the airport interface shows an opening restriction or the visit option is unavailable for your account, use the game's displayed status as the next check. Confirm that you are using the official game and a current page before retrying. Avoid spending on another destination as a guessed unlock for this clue.
Catch the symbol before it slips away
The official client sets a catch requirement of three taps within 6,000 milliseconds. Tap the glowing symbol's button three times promptly; the interface shows the remaining taps. Opening a clue and arriving at its place are not the same as completing the catch.
If the game says the symbol slipped away, retry the catch when the prompt is available. Check the missing slot afterward. A filled slot confirms collection; an empty slot means you still need that piece. Repeating the destination's paid activity without first checking progress can waste your travel budget.
Hints are separate from the catch timer. The first hint uses a two-minute wait in the reviewed client, while later hints follow the panel's countdown and sharing options. Read the current panel instead of treating the six-second tap window as a travel deadline for the entire hunt.
Claim the mansion invitation and check the deadline
After all five pieces are registered, return to the hunt panel for your numbered ticket and its mansion entry option. Keep the ticket state as your completion check. A standard invitation and a Golden 100 label are different outcomes; collecting all five does not establish that your ticket has the special label.
The reviewed client schedules the promotion to end on October 23, 2026 at 23:59 WAT, equivalent to 22:59 UTC. Check the current event panel for changes before starting a late run. This page switches to an archive notice after that scheduled time.
The five destinations, tap timing and schedule were checked against the official event definitions and hunt interface on October 20. The route and budgeting advice are our own synthesis of those rules, rather than a claimed gameplay recording. See our source policy or return to the map guide for ordinary destination planning.
