CUSTOMIZATION
You choose your level- The user can walk or run. You
can choose between a 30 minutes or 1 hour quest.
You build your own survival town.
How could we improve engagement?
The amount of running data isn’t great
on the app, you have to combine it with
the website once you are into the running
just as much as into the story.

CHALLENGE
The app has some achievements related to quests.
Running data achievements are left for the website.
How could we improve it?
A cooperation approach would be interesting in this
app, so friends can contribute to the same town.

SOCIAL LINK
You can share your runs in social networks.
How could we improve engagement?
Cooperation through town building with friends
and family can improve not only the engagement to
run but also the engagement with the app itself, as
users log even if they haven’t run, just to see if others
contributed.
