PuzzleWalk vs wayfound

PuzzleWalk is a gamified app where you can walk through cities around the world and solve 'spot the difference' puzzles. The principle of this app is a conversion algorithm between walking step and gaming time. Your accumulated walking steps will be automatically converted to gaming time, so your walking step is key to be a PuzzleWalk master! Your walking steps and puzzle points will give you a final score and make you eligible to receive a gift card every month! More than a hundred of world cities are programmed along with a thousand of spot the difference puzzles. Each city contains 5 to 10 puzzles depending on the level and each puzzle contains 5 different spots on two otherwise similar images. *Notes - Top 3 score-leaders will be given a monetary reward ($10 gift card) at the beginning of every month via email. Decision will be made based on total scores recorded on the leaderboard at midnight of the last day of the month. - The puzzle game will be deactivated during nighttime (10 PM - 8 AM) to avoid sleep disturbances. - Your walking step is well detected when you make continuous horizontal movement and subtle walking movement may not be detected by the app. - The app will update your walking step data every 3 to 5 minutes if walking movement is detected. A walking step tracking page will help you monitor your daily, weekly, and monthly walking performance. *More about PuzzleWalk PuzzleWalk incorporates evidence-based gamification and Behavior Change Techniques (e.g. user instruction, self-monitoring on target performance, contingent rewards, and goal setting) to motivate people to be more physically active in a fun way. The app was developed by the Indiana University School of Public Health and the School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering researchers. The development of PuzzleWalk was funded by the Indiana University Collaborative Research Grants program.

A fox walks you through a little town. Then you find your own way back. Wayfound is a calm puzzle game about the oldest skill you own: knowing where you are. Follow the fox through pastel streets, past bakeries and clock towers, up a quiet elevator. Notice things. Then walk the route yourself — no minimap, no GPS arrow, just you and what you remember. THERE'S NO CLOCK, AND NO WRONG WAY TO WANDER • No timers, no fail states, no lives. Wrong turns are part of wandering — the fox always finds you. • A rescue ladder, not a game over: hints arrive as gentle nudges, only when you want them. • Little errands: deliver a parcel, find the bakery, learn the streets by needing them. • At corners, the fox asks: which way now? Guess, and feel the route settle into your feet. • Walks grow with you: first the fox leads, then you study a map and walk alone, then it's just you and a destination. • The town grows because you walked it — a flour cart by the bakery, a fishing net by the pier — small things appear when you finish an errand, and they stay. • Point home: a quiet compass test at the end of each walk. Watch yourself get better. • A new town for every chapter — every street is new to you, so each walk is real navigation. WHY WALKS WORK Wayfound is inspired by research on spatial memory — how we build inner maps from landmarks, routes, and wrong turns, and how turn-by-turn navigation quietly erodes that skill. It's not a brain-training claim. It's just a nice walk. • Free, no ads, no subscriptions, no tracking. Your progress stays on your device. • Works entirely offline. • English, 简体中文, 日本語.
