Rules
This game is built to reward showing up, building momentum, moving with other people, and getting healthier over time.
This game is about more than territory. It is about helping people move more, build confidence, and stay connected through shared effort and community support.
Earn Your Ground is built to reward showing up, not just winning. A short walk counts. A slower pace matters. A hard day does not erase your progress. The goal is to make movement feel visible, meaningful, and worth returning to.
Not everyone starts from the same place, and this game is not only for the fastest or strongest person in the group. It is meant to give people a reason to get out the door, a way to see their progress, and a way to build momentum with other people over time.
We know the hardest part is not always the miles or the pace. Sometimes it is choosing to move when life itself feels hard to carry.
On the map, you earn your ground by moving. In real life, you earn your ground by showing up for yourself, staying with it, and building something stronger with the people around you. Every session is a chance to gain confidence, build momentum, help your people, and take back a little more of the life you want to live.
At its best, this game turns consistency into confidence, effort into encouragement, and movement into something bigger than a workout. It becomes proof that you are still growing, still building, and still moving forward. Start where you are, keep going, and Earn Your Ground!
You move in the real world to claim land on the shared map. A valid session can help you, your team, or your platoon take land, defend land, and earn score.
Goals and milestones give you simple targets to work toward.
Achievements give you clear targets to chase while you play.
Finish the missing part before the timer ends and the patrol turns into a loop. Loops are best for grabbing space. Patrols are best for pushing into hard-to-loop areas. Repeating real work inside ground you already hold can slowly grow that ground over time too.
All movement types play on the same map. That means route choice and teamwork matter more than speed alone.
When you move through land already held by your team or platoon, you help protect it instead of taking it over.
Scoring rewards showing up, finishing routes, and making smart choices.
Open Help from the hamburger menu when something is not working right.
