01 / A GAME LAYER FOR REAL LIFE

Little actions.
A bigger adventure.

Gamified fitness uses game elements, like experience points, levels and rewards, to give everyday activity a sense of progression.

In Be a Hero, walking and workouts help develop a fantasy hero. Exploring, reading and cooking count too. It’s a lifestyle RPG, with more than one way to grow.

02 / CHOOSE WHAT FITS TODAY

Five ways in.
Your own way forward.

Explore the activities below. Pick one you enjoy, switch things up, or keep coming back to a favourite.

PICK A PATH

Try any path.
You don’t have to do them all.

ENDURANCE

A little fresh air. A little XP.

The trip to the shops or a comfortable walk becomes Endurance XP. You choose the distance that fits your day.

Everyday stepsEndurance XP

Start with a route you know, and stay aware of your surroundings.

An interactive guide, not a tracker. No activity is recorded here. Screens show development examples, not your profile or final XP rates.

03 / PROGRESS WITHOUT THE PRESSURE

Rest is part
of the route.

There are no streaks to keep alive and no lost progress for missing a day. Come back when you’re ready.

YOUR PACE, NOT A RACE

A pause doesn’t erase a little win.

BEFORE YOU SET OUT

A game that fits
around you.

Enjoy levelling up or collecting outfits? A fitness RPG may give you something to look forward to alongside the activity itself. Start with one thing you already want to make room for.

Game rewards cannot promise motivation or fitness results. Be a Hero is for general fitness and wellbeing, not medical advice. Choose activities appropriate for you, respect local rules outdoors and stop if anything hurts. Your safety comes before XP.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Before your
next little win.

What is gamified fitness?

Gamified fitness uses elements from games, such as experience points, levels and rewards, to give real-world activity a sense of progression. In Be a Hero, walking and workouts help develop a fantasy hero alongside exploring, reading and cooking.

Is Be a Hero only a workout game?

No. Workouts develop Strength, one of five skills. Walking, exploring parks, short reads and recipes have their own skills too. You can focus on the activities that fit your day.

Do I have to maintain a daily streak?

No. Be a Hero has no streaks to keep alive and no lost progress for missing a day. Take a break and come back when you are ready.

Will a gamified fitness app make me more motivated?

It may appeal to you if you enjoy levelling up or collecting gear, but a game cannot promise motivation or fitness results. Choose activities you want to make room for, at a pace that suits you.
