About this app

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!

I started playing this pre 2020 and then stopped until this year. I have been losing weight and as part of this make a daily evening walk part of my routine. I am just under half way through the episodes and have not done any challenges yet. I am finding the story interesting and engaging and love getting to the next clip. I have also found the episodes on Spotify so I can recap the previous ones in full. I wish there were more apps like this with a story to walk along with.

I, like many others, am here from the Zombies, Run! world (which you don't have to run btw). I listened to the podcast but thought it would be fun to do it the way it was intended. What's cool is that they corrected the negatives to create the awesome ZR we love. If this could be incorporated into the ZR app, that would be great. I do like seeing what's collected immediately and being able to relisten to clips during the mission. Just wish you didn't need 2 hr/day or eyes on screen all the time.

For Zombie Run! Enthusiasts looking for that ZR experience, you'll likely be disappointed. The core is the same, but there's no gaming aspect beyond just the episodes. Of which, you will need to play multiple times to collect everything. My biggest gripe for the game, is that items aren't auto picked up like for ZR. Meaning you have to stare at your phone throughout the whole episode to make sure you get all the items. A shame, as it takes you away from experiencing the beauty of the outdoors
