Lapsteal turns your city into a live map of territory. Run a route that comes back to where you started, and the ground inside your loop becomes yours — filled with your color and emoji on a map everyone can see. The bigger the loop, the bigger the claim. But nothing stays yours for free. Rivals steal turf by looping over yours, and you get pinged the moment it happens. Then it's revenge-run time. RUN ANY LOOP — Start anywhere. Your live trail draws on the map as you go. CLAIM THE LAND — Close the loop and the enclosed area is yours, instantly, in hectares. DEFEND OR RAID — Loop over a rival's turf to steal it. Get notified when yours gets jacked. MAKE IT YOURS — Twelve territory colors and an emoji that's unmistakably you. CLIMB THE BOARD — Ranked by hectares held, globally, in your city, and among friends. Your route stays private — location powers the claim, but your raw GPS path is never shown to anyone. Only the territory shape you claim becomes public. Free to play. Your first territory is one run away.
