## What is Muscle Maps?

Muscle Maps is a location-based walking game built around nearby zones, weekly step goals, and a tiny virtual pet.

Open the map, find zones around you, walk into range, and capture them for XP. Your steps also care for a pet with a goal that resets each week.

What you can do:

- Discover nearby zones on the live map
- Walk into range and capture zones for XP
- View all of your captured zones on the Profile map
- Complete daily quests tied to movement and exploration
- Feed your steps to a tiny pet and build a weekly care streak
- Share your pet progress and set optional reminders
- Track optional step-based progress with Apple Health
- Use Muscle Maps Plus for rolling 30-day step catch-up and 5 worldwide captures per subscription period

Pet Guardian Pass is a separate optional monthly subscription. If a pet passes away after a missed weekly goal, an active subscriber can restore that same pet once for the missed week and preserve its care streak. The pet feature remains free to use, and non-subscribers can adopt a new pet when the next weekly care period begins.

Privacy:

- Location is used to place nearby zones and measure activity progress
- Health and Motion access are optional
- Location history, motion data, and Health samples stay on your device for gameplay
- Feature requests and optional developer update opt-in are user-initiated by email
