What's New in HexStride
1.1
September 30, 2026
Plan a walk: long-press anywhere to walk there, or plan a loop stop by stop and follow it turn by turn. See what a route would claim before you go. Levels: every walk earns points, and every level a new title. Hot hexagons: three near you every day, worth a bonus when you claim them. Medals, first-week goals, and a loop that fills on the map the moment you close it. The map drifts round you at rest, your avatar shows the GPS, and Back to you brings you home from anywhere. Rivals' ground now loads across the whole map. Cleaner, with much less text.

FAQ
How does HexStride work?
HexStride turns streets into hexagonal territories. When you walk or run, the hexagons you cover become yours. Closing a loop claims all hexagons within it. Claims are earned solely through physical movement, with verification at hexstride.app/fair-play.
Can I lose ground in HexStride?
Yes, rivals can claim your ground. To defend a hexagon, you must walk it again to harden it. A rival needs one walk to crack a layer and another to take it. Losing ground stops your score from climbing but never subtracts from it.
