Gameplay demo: walk to keep the helicopter flying. Stop stepping and the game pauses. Explore zones, collect rewards, build streaks and finish missions to rank up.
For the laps you know by heart.
The same rooms. The same route. A quick look at your watch… surely that was more than 80 steps? Give yourself something else to focus on, and watch the laps fly by.
The TV’s on. You’re still stepping.
A few more steps before bed? Swap watching the step count for dodging obstacles and chasing coins.
Same treadmill. A new high score.
When the minutes drag, give your walk a game to focus on. A mission to finish. A few more steps along the way.
Get into the game. Get more steps.
A game to focus on. Little wins to aim for. More steps along the way.
Your steps power the flight. Stop stepping and it slows to a pause. Start again and you’re back in the game.
A mission to finish. A new achievement to earn. Small wins that give you a reason to go for another game.
Get caught up in the game and let the laps fly by. When you finish, you’ll be amazed how your steps are adding up!
Good reasons for a few more steps.
You’re already sold on steps. Here’s a little of the research behind the idea.
1,000 more steps can make a difference.
A review of 17 studies found that just 1,000 more steps a day was linked to a 15% lower risk of death from any cause.
Daily steps and lifespan · European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, 2023More steps are linked to better health.
A 2025 research review linked higher daily step counts with a lower risk of several health problems, including heart disease.
Daily steps and health · The Lancet Public Health, 202510,000 isn’t a magic number.
A 2025 review linked 7,000 steps a day with better health across several conditions. The authors suggested it as a more achievable goal than 10,000 for some people.
Daily steps and health · The Lancet Public Health, 2025A little play can lead to more steps.
In a year-long trial, adults at higher risk of heart disease who used points and levels to work towards step goals walked about 500 more steps a day than the comparison group.
The BE ACTIVE trial · Circulation, 2024These studies looked at daily steps and other ways to encourage activity. They did not test The Walking Game.
Good questions.
Is this for walking at home?
Yes. The Walking Game is an iPhone game made for getting your steps in indoors. You play as you walk, with your phone in your hand. Your live steps keep the game moving.
What do I need to play?
An iPhone with iOS 26 or later, room to step and permission for Motion & Fitness. That lets your phone detect the steps that power the game.
Is The Walking Game free?
Yes, completely free.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. Your iPhone detects the steps that power the game.
Do I have to connect Apple Health?
No. Apple Health is optional. You can play using your iPhone’s step detection without connecting it.
How does it help me get more steps?
We use missions, achievements and high scores to make you want another go. You get caught up in the game, and the steps fly by. Because you can only play while you’re moving, another game means more steps towards your goal. Play time becomes active time.
Your next high score → your next top step day!
Your kitchen laps could be about to get a lot more fun.
