• Walk 10,000 steps
• Walk X km (introduce randomization)
• Move above 4mph for 30 minutes

Presumably this is a few things:

• Quests as objects you can acquire
• Tracking quest completion, local data sending completion to server
• Daily expiration
• Completing a quest gives you currency

Potential metrics:

• Total score
• Total steps / distance over days/weeks/months/all time
• Total hexes visited
• Faction rep?
• Time spent in e.g. parks or other venue types, if hexes have associated types?

Instead of a binary tracking of "have you been on this hex?", does it make sense for you to "strengthen" a square the more you walk on it? What does this get you? How is it represented?

I've been assuming iOS only at first

• Add GPS and step counting
• Can properly build and run
• Google Play Games, and whatever else is needed for PlayFab, push notifs, etc
• Add to Fastlane/GH Actions setup

• Walk someplace new at least 3km away from 'home'
• Walk within a park

This requires a concept of 'home', as well as tracking places you've been, as well as venue detection. It's a lot!

• Some sort of automated PN to show how to do lifecycle notifs from PlayFab
• Ability to manually send PNs

See discussion in #16.

Let people form social groups. They can text chat with each other.
They can compete against each other. In-guild leaderboards.
They can compete against other guilds. Maybe COC-style leagues

Presumably only cosmetic items.

Could either be quest rewards (or quest chain rewards), random world drops, or world drops that you can see on the map and move towards

Go up against a random person. options:

• Race them in real-time!
• Daily step challenge: can you beat them? In-app real-time updates of their step count, maybe even push notifs if they overtake you
• Be the first to get to a (specific hex type)

Going to let this stew, but #2 seems like the obvious choice. Have it be larger groups than 1v1. Maybe provide larger social structure -- what is the distinction between matchmade one-off races versus giving people guilds or some sort of larger social structure that persists?

Do you upgrade the same cosmetic? Do you grind them into currency to buy them? Do they give you stats (multipliers to steps, e.g.) and you can upgrade them somehow?

A lot of open questions here, but the fundamental idea is to show the flexibility of PlayFab's item system

This is probably blocked on #10 if it narratively makes sense. This would suggest a faction reputation subsystem that would need to be thought through

Only with real friends, not location-based. Start a party to go for a remote walk together.

Design special features for people who ARE colocated?

Dealer's choice what they are.

I'm not sure if e.g. monthly or annual quests are worthwhile, but having the ability to set arbitrary dates feels like a good abstraction.
