Waybound turns every run or walk into a fun run. Your real miles move you up a painted map you share with friends, and every 2 miles an egg hatches one of 200 creatures to keep.
iPhone only. Free to download, no ads, and nothing sells better odds.
Anyone who would go out more if going out were more fun.
You want a reason to get out the door. Pace does not matter, only distance, and your first egg hatches before your first run.
Walks count exactly like runs: the same distance moves you the same way and earns the same XP. You never have to run.
Your miles already add up. Here they add up to a place on a map, a Journal of creatures and a race with friends, on top of the splits and heart rate you already track.
Invite people you know and race the same painted path each month, wherever each of you lives. Waybound is for ages 13 and up.
Four things turn exercise into a game. Waybound builds each one into a real run or walk, outdoors, on any route.
01
A long run is easier as a string of short ones.
Each month’s painted path has a stop every 2 miles. While you move, the screen and your Lock Screen show how far it is to the next discovery, so there is always a next thing to reach.
02
Not knowing what is next is half the fun.
Every stop hatches an egg with one creature inside, and a stop is never empty. You tap to open it, and rarer creatures take more taps. About 1 in 640 finds is a Mythic, and nobody can buy better odds.
03
Collections give every outing a point.
200 creatures in seven types, each an enamel pin in your Journal with the run it came from. Creatures you have not found yet are favored, and every one has a rare Fabled strike.
04
A little friendly rivalry gets you out on the days you would skip.
Friends you invite are on the same painted path, so you can see who is ahead. On the 1st of each month everyone starts the new path at mile 0; your Journal, level and lifetime miles never reset.
And small daily goals. Two daily goals pay bonus XP, and one of them is always a single run or walk of a mile, so every day has a goal one ordinary fun walk finishes.
The game sits on top of a full GPS run and walk tracker, so you do not need a second app.
Worth knowing before you download.
It depends on what you find fun. If you like a story in your ears, Zombies, Run! does that. If you like training plans and a social feed, Strava and Nike Run Club do that. If you like collecting things and racing friends, Waybound turns every run or walk into a game: a stop every 2 miles, an egg that hatches one of 200 creatures, and a shared monthly map. It is free to download and has no ads.
Waybound is one for walkers who want to collect creatures while getting exercise, with one big difference from Pokémon GO: it is not an AR game and it does not send you to particular places. Any route counts, and only the distance you cover matters. Every 2 miles you walk, an egg hatches one of 200 creatures into your Journal.
Yes. In Waybound walks count the same as runs: the same distance moves you the same way up the monthly map and earns the same XP. Distance is measured by GPS outdoors, so treadmill sessions do not count.
Waybound is free to download and has no ads. The App Store listing shows any optional subscription and its price. Nothing in Waybound sells better odds or luck.
