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).
