Most walking apps track your step count and reward you with badges. Kokume focuses on where you are. Every walk is an opportunity to claim part of the map, construct a building and expand your realm.
The game uses your current location. You can build, gather resources or attack targets within range, which spans hundreds of metres and grows with building levels. There is no daily step target to meet.
Regions follow the real landscape - forest, field, meadow, quarry, water. Each terrain type favours a different resource, so the route you walk to work every day doubles as your first resource base.
Airdrops with loot appear at castles, ruins, lookout towers and hilltops. Remote areas get richer rewards and a longer collection range, so a trip out of town is more than a walk.
Extraction buildings keep producing and carts continue moving resources along planned routes. Other players can still attack your territory, so it is worth checking your defences regularly.
Pedometers and fitness apps measure movement; Kokume is a game. It does not track fitness or health data, and as an early access project it continues to evolve.
| What's compared | ordinary walking games | Kokume |
|---|---|---|
| What is measured | Steps, distance, daily streaks | Position - you can act on whatever is in range |
| Reward | Badges, points and a step leaderboard | Territory, resources, buildings and an army of your own |
| Goal | Hit the daily quota | Build a realm and hold it against other players |
| Other players | Comparing statistics | Three factions competing for the same land |
| A week without going out | The streak breaks, nothing else happens | Production continues, but territory can fall |
| A short walk around the block | A few hundred steps in the chart | Enough to build, gather resources and finish a quest |
| What you can do at home | Look at your statistics | Manage buildings, plan construction and transport routes |
| Where it works | Anywhere | Czechia and Slovakia only for now |
Yes. Capturing territory, constructing buildings and attacking all require you to be within range of your real location. There is no daily step target - how often you go out mainly affects how quickly your realm expands.
Location-based games that use GPS: collection games like Pokémon GO, territory games like Ingress or Kokume, and map RPGs like Orna. They differ mainly in what you take home from the walk - a collection, points, or in the case of Kokume a piece of the map with an economy running on it.
No. We are not a pedometer or a fitness app, and we stay out of your health entirely. We work with your position over GPS - we do not track how far you walk, only where you are and what that position puts within reach.
The area around your home or a regular commute is enough to get started. Action range spans hundreds of metres and grows with building levels, so you can establish your first buildings and region during one short walk.
Yes. We designed the game to work during an ordinary walk. Gathering resources, building and completing quests only take a moment, after which you can continue on your way.
In Czechia and Slovakia only for now, because the map is built on data for those countries. It runs on Android 7.0 and newer, or in a web browser.
Kokume is free. Install it on Android or open the web version and try to capture your first region on the way home.
