## What is Lawa?

Lawa is the free walking game that turns your real steps into fuel to race against your friends. The more you move in real life, the further you get. Lace up your shoes, keep your phone in your pocket, your smartwatch or your phone's built-in step counter does all the work, and collect steps. After your walk, the race is on: be the first to cross the finish line, or sabotage your rivals along the way with a well-timed power-up.

More than just a step challenge!

Most pedometers only show you a number. Boring. Lawa turns every walk into a race, a step competition and an adventure. No dull charts, just a real game where your step goal actually leads somewhere: beating your friends.

What can you do in Lawa?

- Race with your steps: connect Apple Health, Health Connect, Garmin, Google Fit or the built-in step counter and turn your daily steps into progress in the race.
- Challenge your friends: start a step challenge and compete live against friends, family or colleagues. Who walks the hardest?
- Collect power-ups: give yourself a boost or throw slime, fire and other surprises at your rivals to slow them down.
- Climb the leagues: you race against players at your own level, so every match stays exciting and fair.
- Seasonal challenges: complete as many challenges as you can each season and earn exclusive rewards. Every season a new reason to keep moving.
- Build your own character: customise your avatar, collect unique items and make your player truly yours.
- Lawa Loyalty, earn coins with your steps: every step earns coins you can spend on digital clothing for your character and on real discounts at stores. Moving literally pays off.
- Track your progress: earn XP, level up and keep all your walking stats in one place.

Why Lawa?

Half of all people don't hit the recommended hour of daily exercise. That raises health risks and drains energy at school and work. Lawa combines gaming and physical activity, so moving more doesn't feel like a chore but like a game you want to play. Whether you see Lawa as a fitness game, walking game, exercise game or just the most fun way to hit your step goal, it works.
