How to Play WalkToIt
Getting Started
- Enable GPS location and internet connection on your phone
- Go outside to an open area with good GPS reception
- Choose your preferred walk length (Short/Moderate/Long)
- Press "Start" to generate an invisible target
- Be mindful of your surroundings and safety while playing!
Finding the Target
- The target is placed on a nearby road or footpath. It is meant to be accessible by foot.
- Use the "Update Distance" button to check your distance from the target, there must be at least 5 seconds pause between two presses.
- A shorter distance means you're getting "hotter" (closer to the target)
- A longer distance indicates you're getting "colder" (further from the target).
- Keep walking and updating until you find the target!
Inaccessible Targets:
- Private Property: Avoid trespassing if a target appears on or near private property.
- If you encounter an obstacle or the target seems unreachable due to physical barriers, restart the app to generate a new target.
Scoring System
- Each time you successfully find a target, your "Targets Found" score increases
- The app tracks how many targets you've found compared to how many you've started
- Your Success Rate shows the percentage of successfully completed targets
- Try to maintain a high success rate by finding targets instead of restarting!
Tips
