Taking an Uber can be stressful – the map is confusing and trying to put a pin on the exact location sometimes requires an engineering degree. Most times it’s still unsuccessful and we end up running after the Uber waving at it. People usually prefer a quiet driver who says ‘hi’ and ‘bye’ and plays nice music on the radio. But this Uber driver has taken the customer experience to the next level.
Wallace, a lovely Uber driver, recently went viral after a passenger filmed himself playing a tablet game in his care. Who doesn’t have tablet games, you ask? Well, Wallace here has a custom-made game for his passengers to play while he is driving them to their destination. Talk about customer care! The video has garnered almost 20 million views on Twitter, with many people praising Wallace’s programming skills.

The game begins with a passenger guessing the number of Uber trips Wallace has undertaken – some of the numbers seem astronomical! If the passenger fails to guess correctly, Wallace’s avatar shakes his head and says ‘NO’. By this time, the passenger thinks that it’s a simple guessing game and that’s when Wallace surprises them again.
Riders are tasked with helping to “Return Wallace to his family” by guiding his avatar through the maze to reach the photo of his beloved family. The guessing game turns into a heartwarming adventure – I want Wallace to be reunited with his family!
The journey doesn’t end there, and passengers must assist digital Wallace in overcoming various obstacles. At some point in the game, digital Wallace breaks his leg – oh no! His clients have to drag a virtual splint and gauze to help him recover. Poor Wallace. Once he’s recovered, he gives a smile and a thumbs up saying “OK”. We’re glad you’re okay, Wallace.
What seems like a silly tablet game is actually a lovely distraction from the mundanity of everyday life. It definitely beats small talk about the weather.

The comments were full of love for Wallace. Many were surprised by his custom-made game and suggesting that he should move to another job, like programming or game making. But for now, Wallace seems happy where he is. In a video, he excitedly says, “I love driving my car!” His good mood is infectious and certainly deserves a five-star rating.
Passengers now look forward to booking an Uber and hoping to get Wallace as their driver. It’s not just about the driver – it’s about his genuine care for his customers. Imagine Wallace working on this game and thinking about how much joy it would bring to the riders. His genuine effort combined with his kind smile is what makes him so loved.

Alas, not everyone is as happy as Wallace is at their jobs. Many people – on the internet and our inner circle – are unhappy in their workplaces. Everyone knows the infamous “Sunday dread”, a wave of anxiety that hits the day before going to work. Of course, weekends and days off are fabulous and fun, but a stable, well-paying job is also important. Separating “living” and “working” can contribute to unhappiness. Luckily, there are a few things that can help.
Not everyone is blessed with great co-workers or an understanding boss, and it can be hard trying to make a connection with them. But having a good relationship with the people you work with can make you feel better at work. Seeing a friendly face who offers a word of encouragement or cracks a good joke during lunch makes the workday more bearable and less lonely. Perhaps this is your cue to send a funny meme to your coworkers on Slack?
Wallace’s creative decision can also serve as an inspiration – taking something mundane and turning it into a fun game can start many conversations and get creative juices flowing. Add a pinch of cinnamon to your coffee, start a tradition of bringing muffins to the office every third Wednesday and see how life transforms for the better.
But the best thing about rides with Wallace is his smile and infectious energy – he loves driving his car!

This kind Uber driver is a great example that there are countless opportunities to infuse everyday life with joy and wonder. So, the next time you hop in an Uber, keep an eye out for your very own Wallace.
