## What is Turf?

Turf is a location-based multiplayer game where movement, exploration, and strategy come together. 

By visiting virtual zones located in cities, communities, and nature, you take over areas, collect points, and participate in a global game played entirely outdoors.

You choose how you want to play. Some focus on top rankings, while others focus on discovery and movement. 
Turf has a variety of leaderboards — local, regional, national, and global — so everyone can find their own level and set their own goals.

The game is played in monthly rounds where the leaderboards are reset, while your long-term progression, statistics, and achievements remain. You can play alone or with others, at your own pace or in a more competitive manner.

Turf is completely ad-free, providing a clean and focused gaming experience.

With Turf you can:
• Explore the world with GPS-based gameplay
• Discover new places and reasons to be outside
• Get exercise by walking, running or cycling
• Compete on a variety of leaderboards
• Become part of an active community and meet new friends
• Participate in events that bring players together outdoors

Turf combines exercise, discovery and community in a unique outdoor game that is played by people all over the world. 
No matter how you choose to play, Turf is a part of life outdoors.

### 4/5 — Pokemon go for people who like standing in an area

*2026-07-28*

Good game and is plenty fun and it’s nice using it to find new places. Of course theres places that theres no data which is sad but will always happen. Cool competitive aspect. But one question remains, is car turfing legal? (Joke btw)

### 1/5 — Older Persons Game

*2025-01-27*

Played I for a while but seems like a lot of older people play it and are very protective over the zones they take and want to keep. It’s very clicky. Unless you can play it every day for hours on end don’t waste your time. You will never get to the top leagues.

### 1/5 — No map on iPhone.

*2023-05-27*

I’ve really enjoyed this app for six or so months. In the last week though the map has gone. Can’t see any locations or details so is totally useless.   I can’t use it so this round is pointless 

I’m using an iPhone with the right spec and don’t want to download/use a beta test app as I’m not IT tech savvy.  

Developers MUST provide an updated app that works!   Get this sorted!!!

### 2/5 — Great app if it worked

*2023-04-13*

This game is good fun. Unfortunately it is unreliable as it quite often disconnects and doesn’t show the turfs. It also consistently doesn't allow turfs, that are not time locked, to be taken. These issues are very frustrating.

### 5/5 — really amazing app

*2021-10-28*

love this app sm got it so i can compete with my dad. just one thing i need help with, i downloaded this app whilst i was away from home so it currently is showing me the ranking table from south east england, but i live in south west england and it’s quite annoying not being able to see that table is there a way to change this?

### 5/5 — Couch to Turf.

*2021-08-30*

Excellent points based app for runners/ cyclist/ walkers who want to add a bit of fun to their exercise.
The scoring encourages you to get out and pick up a few more zones, and with the large coverage you can go “Turfing” pretty much anywhere.

### 1/5 — Totally dumb - can’t even begin to play

*2021-05-16*

As soon as you even try the “zone” is gone - no one else even in site. Worthless…don’t bother!

### 4/5 — Please Sat-Nav style map

*2021-04-22*

Think this is a great game to get me outdoors Wish could make it so when travelling via bike that the map moved with me 

Having to click on character icon to centre map all the time Is very distracting Especially when GPS is enabled should go hand in hand

### 1/5 — Not even Playable

*2021-02-12*

This game has great potential but lacking the very thing needed to play... the ZONES!!! You have to submit a zone and hope it gets approved in order to capture it. Can only submit 8 zones per round (month?). There are absolutely NO zones already in my area so I have to wait for any of the created/submitted zones to be approved for me to even participate in the game. This is the failure in this game. There should already be pre-mapped zones every fraction of a mile that you can capture to own. NOPE, this game is worthless for me to play unless zones are already available...

### 2/5 — App stops connecting when I get to a zone

*2021-02-07*

I go to claim a zone and the timer goes up and then app disconnects and I cannot play anymore. Happened the last two days in a row. One more chance then deleting the app

Edit - issue has returned. App Won’t connect. Just get the red airplane sort of icon in top left. I’m in normal area so not a 4g issue.
