Field notes
The described game rewards loops around blocks, parks, or larger neighborhoods, then tracks territory strength through shields and a siege mechanic. Its local leaderboard is described as covering 25 km, and the site says runs are checked on the server for on-foot activity. The homepage also says profiles are private by default, runs are not shown to other players, and there is no live position.
