Your neighborhood is now a block world. StepCraft Go turns every real walk into a game. The streets, buildings, parks and rivers around you are rebuilt in charming voxel blocks from real map data — and your character moves when your body does. WALK YOUR REAL WORLD Step outside and watch your own streets stream in around you, block by block. Every place you know is here: your street, your park, your whole city — reimagined as a living voxel world. YOUR STEPS ARE YOUR LIFE Every real step becomes health. Walk more, live longer, explore further. Steps you take while the app is closed still count when you return — a real walk always pays. CREATURES ROAM YOUR STREETS Pigs, foxes, wolves, bunnies, zombies, skeletons and more wander the world around you. Swat them to earn XP and coins, and keep an eye out for the rare iridium creatures crowned with a violet star — the 1-in-20 prize. COLLECT, UNLOCK, DRESS UP Golden coins line the roadsides — walk past to scoop them up. Spend them on outfits, swords, new creatures and whole new biomes: desert dunes, mushroom forests, frozen snowfields. Defeat 100 of a species to unlock its costume, and hunt iridium rarities to earn the prestige iridium outfits with a floating star of your own. GO ANYWHERE Preview any place on Earth: type an address or landmark and the world rebuilds itself there. Walk the blocks of Paris from your couch — then step outside and come home to your real streets. PRECISE BY DESIGN Movement is driven by your real steps and motion, with GPS keeping you anchored to the map. Optional Camera Boost adds augmented-reality motion tracking for ultra-precise movement — nothing is ever recorded or stored. NO ACCOUNTS, NO FUSS No sign-up, no login. Your world and progress live on your device. Lace up, step outside, and watch your world turn to blocks.
