Description

Created with the NHS and the UK's Department of Health, The Walk helps you walk more, every single day. When you’re playing The Walk, every step counts.
A bomb explodes in Inverness station, and you’re given a package that could save the world. To stay alive, you’ll need to walk the length of the UK. The Walk is more than just a great pedometer/step counter — it's a way to turn walking into a journey, a challenge, and a rip-roaring adventure.
Made by Six to Start and Naomi Alderman, creators of the world’s most popular running game with over 5 million players, Zombies, Run!
ENGADGET - “Simple, fun, effective.”
JOYSTIQ - "Spices up your step-tracking with some danger and intrigue.”
BBC NEWS - “Encourages users to walk 10,000 steps-a-day to help improve their health”
LIFEHACKER - “You're motivated to actually get up and move around so you can progress further into the story, and it works really well.”
AWESOME ACTIVITY TRACKER
Just put your phone in your pocket or purse and we’ll track every walk and run you take — and map it, too!
CAPTIVATING STORY
You’ll walk the length of the UK while evading capture by the police and enemy agents. Can you work out who set off that bomb in the first place and what their plan is? Get ready for an epic adventure across 65 episodes, 800 minutes of audio, and hundreds of miles.
MOTIVATING GAMEPLAY
Get rewarded for walking more by collecting clues, scanning for information, and unlocking achievements.
ADAPTIVE
The Walk adjusts its difficulty based on individual fitness levels. Everyone’s different, and we make sure we give you the right level of challenge!
Comes with the first five episodes and challenges for free, with the remaining 60 unlockable by subscribing to the Abel Runner's Club.
Subscriptions are $5.99 USD/month or $34.99 USD/year. Subscriptions will be charged to your iTunes account after your confirmation of purchase.
Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. You can go to your iTunes Account Settings to manage your subscription and turn off auto-renew. Cancellation of the current active subscription period is not allowed.
- Requires iOS 10.3
- This app integrates with the Health app via Healthkit to read and track your steps and movement data to register your progress in the game
- Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. The Walk uses your phone’s accelerometer to measure your movement, and primarily uses wifi and cell towers to track location. The Walk is designed to use GPS sparingly and should have little to no impact on your battery.

No hands free?!?

w4st on

Canada

This game demands that you stare at your phone the entire time you are playing. If you don’t, you will miss items and the audio won’t play. Great idea, terrible execution.

Good, but could be better…

I love the story line, but being a dog mom with two large dogs it’s difficult having to stop to play the unlocked clips. I’d love to have a hands free option that plays the clip as it unlocks. I’d also love to be able to play my music in between clips like I do with ZR5K and Zombies, Run!

Great game

This app already has me walking more every day. My dog loves it.

Don’t work anymore

I paid for this app which I liked very much and reset it to start again this week. Then the new update make me have to pay again, like I didn’t bought it in the first place. Please fix this!

I love this game.

Everyday I’m wondering how I can get out and walk to complete these challenges and get further in the game. I love this game and I don’t even think about the fact that I’m out walking or that it’s cold out. I just want more of the story. What a brilliant concept.

So happy about this update!!

Fantastic game after long awaited, refreshed update. Augmented reality games like The Walk and Zombies, Run! have helped me drop 33 pounds and counting. Another 45 points still left to go, and I look forward to redoing and finishing campaigns while having fun with exercise instead of it being a chore. The voice acting is fantastic. I like that this app allows me to walk indoors during the cold months. Given the obesity epidemic, we desperately need more games like this. Thank you, developers! :)

Logical Next Steps...

It is disappointing that this app has not been upgraded to work on the Apple Watch. It seems like a logical pairing. Something for future consideration

Love it

What a great way to get people walking. I tend to take one really long walk/hike to get all of the episode done in one go, but you can do it throughout the day. The story is interesting and really makes you want to get to the end. I would recommend doing the whole walk before listen to the sound bites.

Barely usable

DElhard on

Canada

The story is fine, but the usability makes it virtually worthless. Simple operations like scrolling take from 5 to 10 seconds, and it's not even doing anything hard. Just updating a single location on a flat (non-3D) map, maintaining a timer, and checking with location services & fitness libraries so see if you are moving. The only time it is usable is immediately after rebooting the phone and then only briefly.'

Enjoyable story!

Honestly, this is the best pedometer app ever. I can keep track of my daily steps and walk time and enjoy more and more of the story as I move. I feel like there are ways that this app could be enhanced to make it even more awesome, but it's pretty great the way it is.
