SCORCH

Run a loop.
Own what's
inside it.

A GPS territory game for runners, walkers and cyclists — with a real training tool underneath.

Berlin first. Get in early.

Territory games only work where players are dense. We're launching one neighbourhood properly rather than everywhere thinly.

How it works

Close a loop on foot or on a bike and the area you encircled is claimed in your colour. Your route is traced exactly as you ran it — not snapped to a grid.

Claim

Finish within 50 m of where you started and everything inside the loop becomes yours.

Fortify

Re-run your own ground and it hardens, up to five levels. Fortified ground absorbs an attack instead of falling.

Or lose it

Ignore territory for a week and it weakens on its own. Ground you never revisit will not stay yours.

A real training tool underneath

Two modes. Conquest claims territory. Training is pure athletics — no territory at stake and a higher speed ceiling, so sprinting is never mistaken for cheating.

Splits and cadence

Automatic kilometre splits with spoken cues in seven languages. Live cadence, ascent and descent.

Works with your kit

Export any session as GPX for Strava, Garmin Connect or Komoot. Import runs recorded on a watch.

Doesn't lose your run

Auto-pause, crash recovery and an offline queue. Losing 45 minutes of effort is the worst thing a tracker can do.

Honest about your data

  • Location is recorded only while a session you started is running. Never in the background otherwise.
  • Loops start at your front door — so you can blank out a circle around home. Others see your territory with that area cut out; your own map and your standings total are untouched.
  • Body metrics stay on your phone. Height, weight and age are never uploaded.
  • Nothing is sold. No advertising, no tracking across other apps.
  • Cosmetics are status only. Nothing purchasable affects gameplay.
