Your next adventure starts with a single step. BoostWorld transforms the streets, parks, and sidewalks around you into a living treasure map full of glowing Boost Balls, hidden chests, and fantasy creatures waiting to be discovered. Every walk becomes a quest. Follow the live map to grab glowing Boost Balls, crack open street treasure chests, uncover supply drops, and dig up mystery geodes scattered across your real-world neighborhood. Catch 60+ fantasy creatures with a cinematic AR capture experience, then build out your collection like a true explorer. Each creature has its own personality, rarity, and story to discover. Stay active and get rewarded for it. BoostWorld counts your steps right on your phone as you walk, turning movement into bonus Boost Balls with fair daily caps — so the more you move, the more you earn. Jump into the Live World Feed to watch a real-time stream of catches, chest openings, jackpots, and milestone moments from explorers everywhere — then join the conversation with cheers and comments. Every location stays privacy-blurred to keep your journey safe. Journal the places you explore: snap a photo with the live in-app camera, add a note, and share it to the feed as a full-width photo card — or keep it private in your personal journal. Every journal photo is shot in the moment and wears a SHOT LIVE badge, so everyone knows it's real. Adopt a pet companion that explores beside you, dress them up in the Pet Boutique, and take them on adventures. And now you can reach out and pet your creatures in AR — they react to your touch. Challenge friends to creature battles, trade quick battle share codes, or duel it out in AR. Team up in co-op Rifts, send gifts, chat with your crew, and sign guest books at real-world Wonders you discover together. Capture the moment in AR Studio by placing your caught creatures into the real world for the perfect selfie. BoostWorld is built privacy-first, with blurred locations, opt-in visibility, easy block and report tools, and in-app account deletion whenever you need it. Lace up, step outside, and start your treasure hunt. Download BoostWorld now and turn your walks into an adventure.
