The crest of Stride Kingdom

Your real steps power the realm

Stride Kingdom

The Waystones of Embervale have gone cold.

Every step you take in the real world — to the kitchen, around the block, across the city — carries a little warmth back up the old road. You walk; the valley wakes.

The Walk Is the Game

There is nothing to grind and no timer to beat. Open the app for ninety seconds in the evening to see what your day earned you.

A quiet day still counts

Miss a day and the Hearthflame only dims — it never goes out, and nothing is ever taken away. The hearth keeps warm for you.

🏮

A place, not a number

Your lantern sits exactly where your feet have carried it — lit stones behind you, mist ahead. Progress you can walk through.

Four Ways to Walk

Your class changes how your steps convert — never whether you can play. A 3,000-step day and a 15,000-step day are both a good day here. Turn a card to read it.

The Hearthflame

Walk on consecutive days and your streak-flame grows — from a first spark to an eternal blaze. It rewards you a little more at every stage, and it never punishes you for a day off.

✨SparkDay 1+5% walk XP
🔥KindledDay 7+8% walk XP
🔥SteadyDay 30+12% walk XP
🔥BlazingDay 100+16% walk XP
🌟EternalDay 365+20% walk XP

Break a streak and the flame simply dims a stage — a rest token can even hold it for you while you're away. Kindness, not pressure.

The Waystone Road

Fifty-four Waystones across three acts and 475,000 steps wind through the valley. Each one you relight opens a little more of the map, a little more of the story — the road runs at exactly the pace of your own two feet.

Nobody Walks Alone

The valley opens up as you go — and when it does, no one is ever ranked by raw step count. Every stride is warmth poured into a shared hearth.

See the Valley

A warm, hand-painted world — the road, the hall, the hearth, and the friends walking it with you.

Take Up the Lantern

Free, forever. Walk the valley on your phone, or try it in your browser right now.

On iPhone? The browser version is for you — nothing to install.

Stride Kingdom is headed to Google Play — until it arrives there, it comes straight from us. Same game, no ads either way. Installing outside the store just means Android asks once to allow installs from your browser ("install unknown apps") — a one-tap prompt, and only the first time.

Installing the APK — what Android will ask you
  1. Tap Android APK above. Your browser warns that this file type can harm your device — that warning shows for every APK ever downloaded. Choose Download anyway.
  2. Open the file. Android says your browser isn't allowed to install apps; tap Settings and turn on Allow from this source.
  3. Go back and tap Install.
  4. The game asks for Physical activity — that is the step counter, and the whole game runs on it. (Curious what happens to your data? The short, honest version.)

Updating later: install the new APK straight over the top — you keep your character, your steps, your Hearthflame, and your place on the road. Every release is signed with the same key, so a new version always installs cleanly over the old one.

Requires Android 8.0 (Oreo) or newer, with a step-counting sensor — effectively every phone made in the last decade.
