Groundgrab is a territory game you play on foot. Walk your neighbourhood, claim the map beneath your feet, and hold on to it until someone else walks it.
Ask for a TestFlight invite How it worksThe map is made of small hexagons. Walk over them and they become yours.
Tap start and go. Groundgrab records your route with GPS, and keeps going with your screen locked.
Every hexagon your path properly covers becomes yours, and shows in your colour on the map.
Walk a route that joins back up on itself and you claim every hexagon inside it, not just the ones you stepped on.
If someone else walks your hexagons later, they take them. There are no warnings and no take-backs. Just walk it again.
Groundgrab only counts walking. Any stretch of a walk that is faster than walking pace, like running, cycling or driving, does not count. Our server checks every walk, and walks that use fake or simulated locations are rejected. Nobody gets territory from a bike.
Groundgrab gets interesting when people share the same streets.
The more people walking your patch, the more contested it gets. Hold the park, lose the high street, take it back on Saturday.

Sign in with Apple, pick a name, and walk. No passwords, no ads, nothing to set up.
A location game should be careful with location.
Your location is recorded only while a walk is running. Other players see your display name, your colour and the hexagons you own, never your route or your position. Raw GPS points are deleted after 90 days. There are no ads and no tracking software, and you can delete your account inside the app at any time. Read the full Privacy Policy.

No. Groundgrab is walking only. Stretches faster than walking pace do not count.
Only you. Other players can see your display name, your colour and the hexagons you own, but not your route or your position.
