Game Rules

Master the rules, dominate the map. Here's everything you need to know about Bonus Walk.

🎮

How to Play

  • Open the app and tap Start Walk to begin tracking your route on the map.
  • Walk any path through the real world — your trail is drawn in real time.
  • Return to your starting point to close the loop and score points for the area you walked.
  • Redeem your points for real gift cards.

Scoring

  • Points = area captured × speed multiplier.

Your average speed during each loop determines the multiplier — see Speed Zones below.

🔘

Closing Loops

  • Return to within 15 meters of START to close the loop.
  • Your trail must not cross itself.
  • Each loop must be at least 1 minute and 100 m² to count.
  • After closing a loop, you can start a new one from the same spot.
  • You can pause and start from a new starting point.
  • You need at least 4 GPS points to close a loop.

LIVES

  • You start with 3 lives (reset at midnight).
  • Crossing your own trail = 1 life lost.
  • Standing still for 60 seconds = 1 life lost — warning appears and phone vibrates at 30 seconds.
  • Moving faster than 7 km/h for 15 seconds = 1 life lost.
  • Unrealistic GPS jump (>200m or >50 km/h) = 1 life lost ("Time travel detected").
  • When a life is lost, the path resets and the game pauses.
  • 1 life automatically restores every 30 minutes (for beta testing).

  • Tap Resume to continue playing.
  • On resume, your current GPS position becomes the new starting point.
  • Idle timer resets.
