Apps that encourage/gamify walking?

Recently got Walk Scape which is a rune scape inspired game, but you do things by walking and just reads from the google analytics on your walking distance, so no gps and doesn’t care where you go, just that you walk. So like to mine something, you take 10 steps, and so on. Also really nice that if you complete your current task, your steps are stored. So you don’t have to do things while on the walk, you pick stuff to do before you walk, and then check in after. Really enjoying it!

Also got an app called Macadam, which gives you prizes for walking. But the model is kinda annoying because you’ll get 25 coins for walking 2,500 steps in a day, but then you’d get like 5k for doing surveys and 10k for “playing partner games”. So it feels a bit just like a mist play clone with a pedometer.

I didn’t like games like pokemon go because the best way to play was always just to drive to a good place and hang out there. Also it required you to stop while on your walk.

Curious if there are any other fun walking games!

This is a really great topic! I’ve been puzzling over ideas for years but havent committed for a walk based games.

I’m in the same boat. I get bored very easily and want more minor gamification in walking.

Right now, it’s just me walking while listening to audio books, and marking those books down.

Walk scape is super cool, but in closed beta. Might be a thing to keep an eye on.

Little app only for the Apple Watch called Nomi that I like. Doesn’t get updated anymore but still works. It’s a couple bucks, and I’ve enjoyed it for years

Don’t you have to buy an nft and equip it to earn money with that?

SpekTrek is pretty old, but is a walking / exploration game.
