Moving more in everyday life doesn't have to feel like a chore. Pyron turns your daily steps into a game that motivates you to walk one more lap, take the stairs more often or simply leave the car at home. The revolutionary concept combines real movement with fun and competition: your steps from Apple Health determine your rank, your placing and your progress. You take on other players in Challenges, team up with friends to fight mighty bosses in Dungeons and face thrilling Knockout tournaments. In Clubs with up to 50 members you'll quickly find the right teammates. You don't have to sign up for anything: as a member, you're automatically part of every Clash and every club dungeon. Achievements, titles, crests, rewards and the Pyron Pass make every extra step worth it. Movement becomes something you look forward to – and an ordinary walk can suddenly become a decisive lead. Pyron brings more movement into your everyday life. With motivation, community and real competition. 2 games, 1 subscription – Pyron and the role-playing game Pyron Legends. You play Pyron Legends in the browser on your laptop or PC, and your steps make your hero stronger. Try Pyron free for 14 days. After that, you keep playing with a subscription – monthly or yearly.
