Questions.
What is a tile?
A tile is a small hex-shaped area on the map, about 130 metres across. Explore new tiles on your walks to grow your personal world.
How do I claim new tiles?
Start a walk, move through new tiles, then finish and save. The app verifies your discoveries before adding them to your world. Each tile adds to your exploration score once.
Do I need to run?
No. RUSH IRL is about exploring at your own pace. A walk around the block or a longer wander can both bring you somewhere new.
What is City Journey?
City Journey turns your daily steps into a trip through 100 Indian cities, from Dwarka to Kolkata. Cross a city to earn its badge and collect its state. It's optional, and you can stop it at any time.
Where do my steps come from?
On iPhone, RUSH IRL reads your step count from Apple Health. On Android, it uses your phone's step counter, and Health Connect can add steps from a watch or another app. Steps never change your tiles or ranks.
Is RUSH IRL free?
Yes. RUSH IRL is free to use, with no ads or in-app purchases. Create an account to save your discoveries and progress.
Can other people see my route?
No. Your saved discoveries use tile identifiers; the recorded route path is discarded. Optional rankings show your tile score, not your walking route.
Does the app need my location?
Location lets the app discover tiles during a walk. Background location is optional and can help record a walk when the app isn't on screen. You control permissions in your device settings.
Is it safe to play while walking?
Choose safe, public routes, and stay aware of traffic and your surroundings. Stop before you use your phone. No tile is worth trespassing or taking a risk for.
Your city is waiting. Go get it.
