SeizeIO is a free, outdoor GPS game. Turn your daily run, ride, or drive into real turf on the actual map of your city — no idle taps, just movement that counts. Step outside, start a round, and conquer what you cover. Close a loop and the ground you enclosed is yours in Loop mode, or hold hexagon-shaped cells against rivals in Domination. The more ground you cover, the more of the map turns your color. KEY FEATURES • Real-world, location-based gameplay — Play on an actual map of your neighborhood, city, or anywhere you go. • Multiple movement modes — Choose Running, Cycling, or Vehicle. Each mode has its own leaderboards and territories, so cyclists compete with cyclists and runners with runners. • Loop mode — Trace a loop with your GPS path to capture the enclosed area. Cross another player's fresh trail to cut them off. • Domination mode — Cover hexagon-shaped cells across the map. Whoever puts the most distance into a cell holds it — defend yours as rivals try to take it over. • Live multiplayer — See other players move in real time. React, intercept, and defend your ground as it happens. • Global and local leaderboards — Climb the rankings by total area claimed, distance traveled, and rounds won. • Detailed statistics — Track your distance, pace, territory captured, and personal records across every session. • Background tracking — Lock your phone and keep playing. SeizeIO continues recording your route with battery-friendly background GPS. • Minimal, focused design — A clean interface that stays out of the way so you can focus on moving and the map. HOW IT WORKS 1. Sign up and pick your movement mode. 2. Choose Loop or Domination, then start a round and head outside. 3. In Loop, close a loop with your route to capture the ground inside it. In Domination, cover hex cells to claim and hold them. 4. Watch your territory — or your standing — grow as you move. 5. Defend what you own and expand into rival territory. WHY SEIZEIO? SeizeIO rewards real movement. There are no taps to farm, no idle timers, no pay-to-win shortcuts. Your score is the ground you actually covered. It's a fitness tracker, a strategy game, and a reason to take the long way home — all in one. Whether you're squeezing in a lunchtime run, commuting by bike, or exploring a new city, every meter counts. Turn your daily route into a competition. Turn your neighborhood into a battlefield. PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS SeizeIO needs location access (including background location) to track your movement and score your round. Your GPS data is used only for gameplay and your personal statistics. You can stop tracking at any time by ending the round. GET MOVING Download SeizeIO for free, lace up, and claim your first square of the world today.
