Stepstorm Racers
Walk. Collect. Compete.
Every step you take drives your car down the road. Walk 10,000 steps and you've lapped the circuit. Race the friends you actually know — one race a day, from your local midnight until 9 PM.

Why it's a game
Your steps were already a race. We just added a scoreboard.
Stepstorm Racers isn't a fitness tracker with a coat of paint. It's a daily competition that happens to run on the walking you already do.
No strangers
There's no global leaderboard and no worldwide rank. You race your friends — the people whose names you actually want to beat.
One race a day
Your day runs on your own clock, local midnight to 9 PM. Everyone gets the same window, whether they're across the street or across an ocean.
You drive a car
Your position on the road is your step count. Overtaking a friend isn't a number ticking over — you watch it happen.
The daily window
One rule decides everything: 9 PM.
Every player gets one race per day. It opens at your local midnight and closes at your local 9 PM — then the interesting part starts.
-
Your day opens
Steps start counting the moment your local date turns over. Your car rolls onto the road at the start line.
-
The lock
Steps stop. Your score is settled and your rank is worked out across your whole friend network.
-
The bonus period
Three hours to open your crates, claim your rank rewards, and watch the leaderboard settle — while the day is still officially alive.
-
A new race
The next day opens. Everything you earned is yours to keep — unopened crates wait for you, and any rewards you didn't claim are collected automatically.
The 9 PM promise
Steps count until 9 PM and then they stop — for everyone, everywhere. Nobody gets to pad a score with the walk home, and nobody has to wonder whether it's worth starting.
Because the window is anchored to the wall clock rather than to a stopwatch, the day you actually get is still 21 hours on a normal day — and it stays honest on the two days a year when the clocks move.
Ranked first when the lock hits? Your car wears the crown and you're the king of the day.
The race world
A circuit with no finish line.
Your road is a side-scrolling world, and your car sits exactly as far along it as you've walked. There is no end to reach — only laps to bank.

Laps & loot
Cross the line. Earn a crate. Find out later.
Laps don't pay out on the spot. They hand you something sealed — and the moment you open it is the reward.

LegendaryThe one you tell people aboutMoney in the bank
A lap, once banked, is yours. Power-ups can shove a rival backwards down the road, but they can't repossess a lap they've already crossed — and they certainly can't take back a crate you've already earned.
Crates never expire. A container you earned waits for you as long as you need it, so there's no pressure to open anything before you're ready.
- Laps are banked as a high-water mark, not recalculated
- Crates and cars never time out
- Power-ups stay good for 48 hours from the moment you get them
- Can't open a crate yet? It's kept, not lost
Power-ups
Ten ways to ruin a friend's afternoon.
Power-ups move steps, not points — which means a well-timed hit doesn't just change a number, it changes where someone's car is sitting on the road.

Your car
Build a car worth being seen in.
Your car is how your friends recognise you on the road. Collect bodies, paints and decals, then take them into the garage and make something that's unmistakably yours.
Everything you unlock keeps working for you — a car you own is a car you own, however the race went.
Friends only
The leaderboard is your group chat.
Ranking only ever happens inside your friend network — you and the people you've added. Nobody else can see you, and there's no worldwide ladder to climb.
Ranks that wait for everyone
Your friends don't all live in the same time zone, so ranks stay live through the day and only truly settle once the last person in the network has finished. Someone eight hours behind you still counts.
That also means the day has a climax. Attacks land while a friend's day is still open — including during their bonus period — so a well-timed hit in the final hour can still move a rank that looked settled.
- Ranks are provisional until the network's last member finalises
- Attacks are unrestricted — no per-friend cap, no protection for the leader
- Everything that happens lands in the feed, in plain language

Finish well. Get paid.
When the lock hits, your finishing position pays out. Rewards are items — never points — so claiming them can't quietly rewrite a score that's already been settled.
1st place
The crown, and the best loot band in the game.
2nd – 3rd
Strong odds at rare and epic drops.
4th – 10th
Solid mid-table loot, plus every crate you banked.
Everyone else
You showed up. That still pays.
Show up tomorrow too
Racing on consecutive days builds a streak, and a streak is worth real points — up to 175 extra a day once you're seven days deep. Skip a day and it resets, so the pressure is gentle but it is real.
Your profile tracks the whole history: wins, best day, longest streak, longest run at number one, items collected, power-ups used, attacks sent and blocked, and every podium finish you've taken.

Fair & private
Played on the honour system? No. Played on the server.
Your phone reports what you walked. It doesn't decide anything — scores, ranks, drops and rewards are all worked out server-side, so there's nothing to fiddle with on a rooted phone.
Steps are verified
Segments are checked for overlap, ordered against a sync cursor, and capped at plausible daily limits. Data that doesn't add up doesn't count.
Hand-typed steps don't count
Manually entered health samples are recorded for audit but verified as zero. The score only ever reflects steps a device actually measured.
Your health data stays yours
Friends see your steps, score and rank for the day — that is the game. They never see your raw health records, your sync history, or your time zone.
No passwords at all
Sign in with Apple, Google, or a one-time code sent to your email. There's no password to forget, reuse, or have leaked.
Questions
The things people ask first.
Do I have to start a workout or open the app?
No. Steps are read from Apple Health and Health Connect, so your day is already being counted whether or not the app is open. You only need to open it to watch, use a power-up, or open a crate.
Does it work with my watch?
Yes — and you don't have to do anything special. Both Apple Health and Health Connect already merge phone and watch data before the game reads it, so a step counted on your wrist isn't counted again from your pocket.
What happens if I'm still walking at 9 PM?
Those steps belong to tomorrow. The lock is the same for everyone in the race, which is exactly what makes the last hour worth watching.
What if I travel, or my time zone changes?
Today's race keeps the window it started with — a change of zone never moves a deadline you were already racing against. Your new time zone applies from the next day onward.
What happens on a clock-change day?
Your day is anchored to the wall clock, not to a stopwatch, so it simply runs an hour short or an hour long. The 9 PM lock still lands at 9 PM.
Can my friends see my health data?
They see your step count, score and rank for the day — that's the competition. Raw health records, sync history and rejected data are never shown to anyone, and neither is your time zone.
What if nobody else in my group is awake yet?
They show up parked at the start line until their own day begins. You can race ahead — their window will open when their midnight comes around.
Which phones will it run on?
iPhone and Android. Stepstorm Racers is built for iOS and Android together, so you and your friends can race whichever you carry.
