Overview

Taxi Master is a mobile game in which players take on the role of a taxi driver picking up and dropping off customers at locations around the city. The gameplay consists of picking up passengers, who tell the player where they want to go, then drawing a route to their desired location on an in-game map. The game was released in March 2023 and gained a significant online fandom over the following months, particularly on TikTok. That May, the game's characters became the subject of fan art and redraws, particularly a character who says to the driver, "I wanna pee! Help!" and one who looks beaten up and says, "Please help me…" Some of the artwork also ships these two characters.

History

Taxi Master was released on the Google Play Store[1] and the App Store[2] on March 14th, 2023. In the game, you play as a taxi driver who picks up various clients across the city. Each client tells the player where to take them, prompting the player with a map of the city. The player then draws the fastest possible route to the location and auto-drives to it. There are a number of clients to pick up, including a man who desperately needs to pee, a robber who wants to go to the bank, a girl who wants to go drink at the bar and a beaten-up man who asks for help (gameplay shown below).
