## What is Birus?

A silent war is happening right now, around you.

Birus is a minimalistic real-time location-based territory game where every player is assigned to one of two global teams: the Virus or the Cure.

Open the app and you are placed on a side. No switching. No usernames. No account setup. Just your team, your location zone, and the pulse you send into the map.

Every tap adds power to your team in the area where you are standing. Other players are doing the same across the world. Some are pushing with you. Some are pushing back.

The 3D globe shows the state of the war live. Zoom out to see continents shift. Zoom in to see the battle around your city. Red and blue territories change as players tap, move, and return.

HOW IT WORKS

- Get assigned to the Virus or the Cure
- Tap to add power to your team
- Watch territories change on the live 3D globe
- Fight for your side until the countdown ends
- No ads, no accounts, no in-app purchases

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

Birus does not need an account, email address, profile, or social login.

Your precise GPS coordinates never leave your device. The app converts your location into a coarse territory zone on your phone, then sends only that zone code to the server.

The server does not receive your exact location.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF LOCATION GAME

Birus is not about collecting items, grinding levels, or buying power. It is about presence. The place where you stand matters. Every tap matters. The map is shared by everyone.

There are no ads. No pay-to-win mechanics. No daily reward traps. No endless menus.

Just a black screen, a pulse, a globe, and a war that ends.

When the countdown reaches zero, the winning side is recorded.

Your side is waiting.
