From a real walk to a virtual journey

WalkQuest reads your step count only after permission and converts movement into progress on the route you selected.

Walk as usual

Your synchronized steps become route distance. About 1,250 steps equal one virtual kilometre before bonuses.

Watch the map advance

The walker marker moves between route stops, and the next destination shows how many kilometres remain.

Reading the map

Your position is always visible

The walking marker is your current calculated position. City pins show destinations along the route.

  • Current position. Tap the walker to open Street View near the closest route point.
  • City markers. Reached cities become available; future stops remain locked until you arrive.
  • Map exploration. Opened places can launch Google Maps or nearby Street View in an external app.

Water and long crossings

When the road becomes a ferry, train, or flight

At a special transfer gate, walking progress pauses at the shore or terminal. Choose how to start the crossing.

✨

Premium

The crossing is included, costs no travel points, and uses a one-day travel time.

🧭

Travel points

Spend the number of points shown on the gate and wait for the route’s travel time.

▢️

Rewarded videos

Free players can complete the required rewarded views instead of spending points.

🎫

Google Play ticket

Where available, buy the matching train, ferry, or flight ticket for a one-day crossing.

Steps walked while a transfer is waiting are banked, so your effort is not lost and can continue the journey after arrival.
