## What is MOW?

MOW is two things that don't usually go together:
a calm daily puzzle game 
and a real tool for people who want to do good in their neighborhood.

THE GAME
A new yard appears every day. Your job: drag your mower across every square 
of grass in one continuous path. No lifts. No shortcuts. Just you, the yard, 
and the cleanest route you can find.

Every player gets the same puzzle on the same day — like a daily crossword, 
but for people who think in paths. Plan your route. Learn the patterns. 
Build a streak worth sharing.

Finish the puzzle and unlock the Leaf Blower to sweep the lawn clean before 
you post your results.

No ads. No timers. No energy bars. Just a clean, satisfying two-minute 
puzzle — and the same quiet pull that brings you back tomorrow.

THE MISSION

MOW is built by I Want To Mow Your Lawn, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit connecting 
volunteer mowers with neighbors who can't manage their lawns on their own — 
seniors, people with disabilities, veterans, and families going through 
hard times.

Real people call our hotline and leave voicemail requests. Sign in as a 
registered volunteer and you can hear their voices, read their stories, 
and decide to help.

The app handles the rest: masked calling and texting to protect everyone's 
privacy, a commitment system that keeps volunteers accountable, and 
before-and-after photo uploads to log your service.

HOW IT WORKS

→ Play the daily puzzle — no account needed, fully offline
→ Sign in with your volunteer email to unlock the Find tab
→ Browse nearby lawn care requests by ZIP code
→ Listen to voicemails. Read summaries. Understand who needs help.
→ Tap "I'm In" to commit
→ Call or text through our privacy layer
→ Upload photos and log your completed service
→ Build a history of real, local impact

WHO IT'S FOR

The puzzle lover who needs a two-minute reset every morning.
The person who's been meaning to volunteer but hasn't found the right fit.
Anyone who believes a well-kept lawn shouldn't depend on what someone 
can afford.
