## What is Mahjong Walk?

Practice riichi mahjong one hand at a time.
No opponents, no timers — just a solo riichi trainer built around a single problem a day.
The steps you take become the tiles you draw, so your hand grows without you rushing it.


■ Today's Discard — one problem a day

Each morning a hand arrives. All you do is pick the tile to cut.
Once you answer, the numbers behind every candidate open up: expected value,
tile acceptance, shanten, win rate and tenpai rate.
You see why that discard was the one, and instinct turns into something you can explain.
Answer correctly and you earn bonus draws for the day's game, and your streak grows.

■ Practice Mode — sets of five

For the days you want to sit down and drill. Every question comes with an
explanation, and the ones you miss are kept for review.

■ Today's Game — steps become draws

Mahjong Walk reads your step count from iPhone or Apple Watch. 100 steps, one draw.
Start from a 13-tile hand and try to win within 30 draws.
Everyone plays the same wall each day, and when you finish you can see what others
did with it: the fastest win, the highest score, the most popular discard each turn.
There are no rankings. It is a record of the shape your day took, not a competition.

■ Also included

- History calendar: the days you walked and the days you won, at a glance
- Discard review: replay past rounds and look for the better choice
- Real-time shanten, expected value and useful tile display
- 3-Player Mahjong / Sanma (Premium)

■ Who it is for

- You want to work through discard problems a little at a time
- You want to play solo mahjong at your own pace, without waiting for opponents
- You want to learn tile efficiency with the numbers in front of you
- You want one more reason to walk

■ Premium

- +20 guaranteed draws a day, so you can still play on days you don't walk
- Redraw your starting hand up to 5 times a day
- Unlocks 3-Player Mahjong (Sanma)
- No ads

Plans: Monthly (auto-renewable) / Yearly (auto-renewable, best value) /

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6.0 — 2026-08-21

Fixed a bug that could stop the app from launching after switching to three-player mahjong.
Thanks for reporting it.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-08-21

The Dojo tab has been removed, so the app stays focused on Today's Discard, Practice Mode and Today's Game.
We also reworded how Health access is explained.
Thanks for playing.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-07-24

Today's One Round has begun.

New: Today's One Round, where everyone plays the same daily deal
Result screen replays your discards, plus the day's fastest and highest-scoring winners
Redesigned Dojo tab with daily rituals and an unlimited practice hall
Concealed kan with new dora indicators, and reach as a two-step declare-then-discard flow
Red dora now shows in the hand, and the drawn tile sits above the row for clarity
First-launch onboarding for new players

### 1.3.0 — 2026-06-18

- Crash fix
  The app could crash after moving between the Playback view and
  the round detail screens. The underlying layout loop has been
  closed so this no longer happens.

- Better dark mode
  Several surfaces — today's challenge card, the day journal,
  and a few pastel-backed cards — read poorly on dark devices.
  Their backgrounds and accents are now tuned for both light
  and dark.

- Minor polish.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-06-16

Scoring fix
In certain hands the fu was being computed against the wrong winning
tile, which made the final score read higher (or lower) than it
should have. Fu and han are now calculated against the actual drawn
tile, so the score you see matches the hand you actually won with.

Minor polish.
