## What is World Stroll?

Paris, Rome, New York, Kyoto — find the landmarks and World Heritage sites of 16 cities in real street imagery, and collect them in a travel almanac of your own. A virtual trip around the world, ten minutes a day.

Follow faint signs on real maps and discover landmarks, food, culture and transport. No combat, no grinding, no gacha.

■ How to play
- Pick a city on the world map, and a real map opens up
- Somewhere in that city, three "presences" are drifting faintly
  - "Something smells like broth around here." "A large shadow, far off."
- Tap inside a presence to "listen closely" - the circle narrows and a terrain hint opens
- Tap again inside the narrowed circle, and you will always find something
- What you find is shown in real-world imagery, with a piece of local trivia

■ Reading the map is the skill
Along the river, next to the station, deep in the old town - guess "it should be around here" from the terrain and the streets. Walk close to the real spot for a bonus.

■ 16 cities, 320 discoveries
- Japan: Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Yokohama, Kobe (free to play)
- Europe: Paris, Rome, London, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Lisbon, Berlin
- Asia and Oceania: Singapore, Sydney
- The Americas: New York, San Francisco
The Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Sagrada Família, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Brandenburg Gate, the Sydney Opera House - from famous sights to local food and the way each city gets around.

■ A reason to travel every day
- A daily trip, a daily theme and a streak record
- A "golden presence" that appears in each city once a week. Catch it for triple XP, and it stays gold in your almanac
- "Photo of the day" - look at real scenery and guess which city it is
- "Recall notes" - bring back the trivia you read earlier
- A weekly challenge
- A home screen widget and a daily reminder

■ The joy of collecting
- A World Heritage collection
- Cross-border quests such as "Towers of the World" and "Ancient Prayers", plus city quests (18 in all)
- Complete a city and a stamp is pressed into your passport
- 25 achievement badges (streaks, world heritage, night walks and more)
- "Learn more" in the almanac opens a second piece of trivia for every discovery
- "Reverse stroll" in the cities you completed - look at the scenery and find the place on the map again

■ Compare your skill
- "Today's record" - everyone chases the same presences on the same day, so your average distance from the true spot is the measure of your skill
- Game Center leaderboards and achievements

■ World Pass (one-time purchase)
- Unlocks 11 cities abroad and removes the daily exploration limit
- Terrain hints are visible from the start, with no need to listen closely
- No need to watch ads to add explorations
- Includes every city added in the future, forever
- You can also try a few steps in a World Pass city by watching an ad

■ Also
- iCloud sync, so your almanac survives a new phone
- Real-world imagery appears where Apple Maps Look Around is available

■ This is for you if
- You love to travel, but you can't go right now
- You want your commute, or the ten minutes before bed, to make you a little smarter
- You like looking at maps, and you like filling in a collection
- You enjoy World Heritage sites, city walks and trivia

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7 — 2026-09-29

The world just got much bigger: 16 cities and 320 discoveries.

- New cities: Yokohama and Kobe (free), plus New York, San Francisco, Sydney, Berlin, Amsterdam, Lisbon and Singapore (World Pass)
- The home screen is rebuilt around photos. Today's trip and every city card now show real street scenery
- Game Center achievements (25) and all-time leaderboards for discoveries, streaks and more
- The globe on the world map now turns toward today's destination
- Stronger sync between two devices, so rewards are never counted twice and records never roll back
- Lighter photo loading, so browsing the almanac stays smooth
- Many small fixes to notifications, streak repair, exploration rate and more

### 1.6 — 2026-09-26

A big visual refresh that puts the heart of the game front and center.

- Today's Trip now sits at the top of the World Map, so you know where to go the moment you open the app
- On the city map, presence circles are no longer hidden behind the cards, and nearby pins are grouped together
- When you make a discovery, your XP is broken down line by line, and completing a city stamps your passport
- The Passport shows your level at a glance, with badges split into "almost there" and "earned"
- Cities that need the World Pass are gathered on one card, and you can try a single walk in each
- The first-time introduction is redrawn with pictures
- Gold is now used only for golden presences, so colors mean one thing each
- Fixed small English wording issues, such as "1 taps"
- Fixed an issue where progress could fail to load after updating, plus fixes for notifications and Game Center sign-in

### 1.5 — 2026-09-26

The daily stroll is now a shared puzzle. Presences are decided by the date, so on any given day everyone is looking for the same three places. Your score is how few taps you needed, and how close you managed to walk.

- Today's stroll: your taps and your closeness are kept as a grid you can share
- Today's ranking: compare your average distance with others who walked the same day (Game Center - nothing changes if you don't use it)
- Distance hints: "about 1.2 km from somewhere you already found." Two circles intersect and narrow the place down
- Reverse stroll now uses real-world imagery. You look at the scenery, not the name
- Recall notes: trivia you have already read comes back as a four-choice question (Almanac tab)
- Golden presence: once a week in each city, a special presence appears and triples your XP
- Added a weekly challenge, and "today's photo", a daily question from real-world imagery
- Par for taps, and a streak of bullseyes, now grow your XP
- Journey log: what you found and when, month by month

### 1.4 — 2026-09-22

コアの遊びを作り直しました。テキストで行き先を選ぶ形をやめて、本物の地図の上に漂う「気配」を自分でたどる形になりました。

・地図の気配を一度タップすると耳を澄まし、範囲が絞れて地形ヒントが開きます。もう一度タップで発見。真の場所に近いほどボーナス
・見つけた場所を実際の風景（Look Around）で見られるようになりました
・大阪とロンドンを追加。6都市120種類の発見物になりました
・世界横断クエストを8種に追加
・コンプリートした街で遊べる「逆さんぽ」、歩いた道が残る「足跡」、1日の精度を測る「今日の記録」を追加
・バナー広告を廃止しました

### 1.1 — 2026-09-04

・今日の探索回数を使い切った後、広告の視聴でもう1回歩けるようになりました
・アプリの継続運営のため、広告を導入しました（世界パスをお持ちの方には表示されません）
