Turn your everyday walks into adventures

[ about ]
reTrek is an iPhone app that turns your everyday walks into adventures along famous trails and story-driven quests.
Step counters tell you how many steps you took. reTrek turns those steps into progress along a famous route: walk the Camino de Santiago, trek to Everest Base Camp, cross the Inca Trail, follow Hadrian's Wall. Walk it on your own, or share the trail: pool your steps with friends to finish together, or race them to the top.
The number isn't the point. The journey is. And it is even better shared.
HOW IT WORKS
- Pick a route or a story quest.
- Walk in real life. Your evening loop, the dog walk, the trip to the shop. All of it counts.
- Reach a milestone, and something opens up: a short film about the place you have reached, or the next chapter of your quest.
WALK TOGETHER, OR RACE Walking alone is easy to skip. Walking when someone is counting on your steps is not.
- Team up on a route and pool your steps toward a finish you reach together.
- Or race. Everyone walks the whole trail, and the first to the finish wins.
- Follow friends and fellow adventurers, cheer each other on, and watch who is pulling ahead.
ALONG THE WAY
- Earn badges for distance walked, routes finished, and days on the move.
- Level up as you keep walking, and collect a shareable card for every trail you finish and every quest ending you reach.
- See a weekly recap of how far you have come.
ROUTES AND QUESTS A growing collection of famous trails and story quests. Solve a mystery in 14th-century Provence, or carry a letter through 1820s Italy. New routes and quests added regularly.
