## What is Runbit?

Turn every walk into an adventure. Runbit turns the streets and paths around you into a game, whether you're a tourist, a dog owner, a parent or a runner looking for something new.

• EXPLORE A NEW CITY
Visiting somewhere new? Follow the stars to streets, parks and hidden corners you would never find with a map alone. Sightseeing without a guidebook.

• DOG WALKS
Make the daily dog walk more fun. Take new routes, sniff out new places and collect stars together.

• TREASURE HUNT FOR KIDS AND FAMILY
Collect stars on a fresh treasure hunt that changes every time. Perfect for family outings and school breaks.

• WALK, JOG OR RUN
Set a number of stars to collect or beat the clock, or follow a route with checkpoints. Go at your own pace on foot or by bike.

• ESCAPE MONSTERS
Keep moving as monsters chase you. Three speed modes adapt to your level. How long can you survive?

• CHASE ANIMALS
Catch animals that always stay just a little ahead of you. Find the shortest way and forget about time and distance.

• CHALLENGE FRIENDS
Share pictures of your rounds on Facebook, Instagram and other apps, and challenge friends and family to beat them.

Works alongside your favorite fitness app. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
