Run. Capture. Win.

Walk, run or ride through your city. Close a loop and everything inside becomes your territory on the map. Steal from rivals, defend your land and become the boss of your neighbourhood.

How to play

Three steps to your territory

No rules to learn: go outside, move and close a loop.

  1. Go out and move

    Walk, run or ride. The app follows your route by GPS, also with the screen locked.

  2. Close a loop

    Come back into the white circle at the start, or cross your own route. A loop must be at least 200 m long.

  3. It's yours

    Every cell inside the loop takes your colour. Capture more and climb the leaderboard.

Illustration: a green route closes a loop, the cells inside turn green, and part of a rival's pink territory is captured.

Capture territory

The city is the game board

The map is split into hexagon cells. Every cell has an owner, and every loop changes the map.

  • Close a loop over someone else's land and it becomes yours.
  • Defend yours: land you don't visit for 30 days starts to fade.
  • Landmarks give extra points.

Walking / Cycling

Two ways, two battles

Each way has its own map and its own leaderboard, so walkers and cyclists are never counted together.

Walking

Walk or run. Great for your neighbourhood, the park and the daily walk.

Cycling

Longer loops and bigger territory. Speed is checked, so driving a car doesn't count.

Ranks

From beginner to king of the city

Every cell you capture gives experience. Your rank grows with your level.

  1. BeginnerLevel 1+
  2. RunnerLevel 5+
  3. ConquerorLevel 10+
  4. ChampionLevel 20+
  5. LegendLevel 35+
  6. King of the cityLevel 50+

More than running

Neighbourhood, team and city

Neighbourhood boss

Hold the most land in a neighbourhood and you get the boss title. Everyone there knows who the boss is.

Soon

Teams

Join up with friends. The members' territory adds up for the team.

City vs city

Every week: km² captured per active player, so smaller cities can win too.

Privacy

Play without telling anyone where you live

Your route is not stored

The server uses your route only to work out the cells you captured. Only totals are kept, with no coordinates.

A 3-hour delay

You see your new land at once. Other players see it after 3 hours at the earliest, so they can't tell you are running right now.

Home zone

Switch it on in Settings and nothing is captured or shown inside it. Its exact size and centre are secret.
