Mystery Run: GPS Art
Guided routes that draw shapes
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases
iPhone
Pick a distance. Follow the directions. Find out what you drew.
Mystery Run draws GPS art for you, but the drawing stays a surprise until the end. You choose how far you want to go, and the app finds a route near you that traces a shape on the map: a heart, a cat, a rocket, one of dozens. Every turn is shown visually and with audio.
HOW IT WORKS
• Choose your mileage, from a quick 2 miles to a long run
• Mystery Run fits a drawing to real streets, starting where you stand or anywhere you pin
• Put your phone away. A voice calls each turn by street name, with a heads-up before it comes
• Glance at the map if you need it: the next quarter mile ahead of you, and the part you've run fading out behind you
• Finish the route and the drawing is revealed
MADE FOR THE RUN, NOT THE SCREEN
Turn-by-turn voice guidance keeps working with the screen locked and your music playing. Cues duck your audio, say the turn, and get out of the way. Miss a turn and the app tells you how to get back on the line.
KEEP WHAT YOU DREW
Every finished run is saved on your phone with its drawing, distance and pace. Share a card of your art to Instagram, your group chat, or anywhere else. Record in your usual running app at the same time if you want the miles there too.
WORKS WHERE YOU RUN
49 major cities are mapped ahead of time, from New York to Tokyo. Anywhere else, Mystery Run maps your streets the first time you ask, in under a minute.
FREE TO TRY
Your first run is free, with any drawing, animals included. After that, one purchase unlocks 25 drawings plus seasonal surprises for good. No subscription. The Animals pack adds 12 animal drawings on top.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No login. No ads in the app. Your runs and GPS tracks are stored on your phone and nowhere else. Routes are computed on your device. Anonymous usage analytics help decide what to build next, a count of installs and purchases tells us whether our ads work, none of it is tied to you, and one switch in Settings turns it all off.
