How is MapRaiders different from fitness apps like Strava?

Strava tracks your performance. MapRaiders uses your movement as gameplay. Your walk doesn't just generate stats, it claims territory, triggers battles with neighbors, and leaves a trail other players interact with. Movement has social consequences.

Do I need special equipment to use MapRaiders?

No. Any Android smartphone with GPS is enough. MapRaiders works for walking, jogging, cycling, any outdoor movement counts toward territory and progress.

The Problem

What's Missing from Outdoor Social Today?

Fitness apps track you. Social media addicts you. Neither actually connects people in the real world. Strava gives you stats, but you're alone. Instagram shows you a highlight reel, but you're sitting on the couch watching it. The two categories co-exist but never converge.

What's missing is an app where physical presence has social consequences. Not "like my running photo", but: your run claims territory. Your route leaves traces other players interact with. Your neighborhood becomes a shared arena. MapRaiders is built exactly on this premise: outdoor movement as the engine of real social connection.

Clan Voice Lobby

Talk with your clan in the voice lobby like on a phone call, see who is online and bring the whole lobby along to a raid. Real voices, live.

Organic Clans
