Read full description

Outroam turns the real world into your map. EXPLORE — Everywhere starts hidden under fog. Walk, run, or ride to reveal it, block by block. Real landmarks light up nearby as the best places to head next. CLAIM — Your territory grows automatically as you move. No buttons, no fuss. Other players are out there too — they'll try to take your turf, and you'll get pinged so you can walk over and take it back. COLLECT — Point your camera at real animals to log them in your Field Guide. Every place has its own wildlife — pigeons and squirrels in the city, foxes, herons, and more out in the wild. TRACK YOUR WORLD — Watch your completion fill in by neighborhood, city, country, and continent. Earn achievements, build streaks, and climb the leaderboard. Your routes stay private — Outroam only ever shares coverage counts and percentages, never where you walked. Step outside and start roaming.
