Created with the NHS and the UK's Department of Health, The Walk helps you walk more, every single day. When you’re playing The Walk, every step counts.
A bomb explodes in Inverness station, and you’re given a package that could save the world. To stay alive, you’ll need to walk the length of the UK. The Walk is more than just a great pedometer/step counter — it's a way to turn walking into a journey, a challenge, and a rip-roaring adventure.
Made by Six to Start and Naomi Alderman, creators of the world’s most popular running game with over 5 million players, Zombies, Run!
ENGADGET - “Simple, fun, effective.”
JOYSTIQ - "Spices up your step-tracking with some danger and intrigue.”
BBC NEWS - “Encourages users to walk 10,000 steps-a-day to help improve their health”
LIFEHACKER - “You're motivated to actually get up and move around so you can progress further into the story, and it works really well.”
AWESOME ACTIVITY TRACKER
Just put your phone in your pocket or purse and we’ll track every walk and run you take — and map it, too!
CAPTIVATING STORY
You’ll walk the length of the UK while evading capture by the police and enemy agents. Can you work out who set off that bomb in the first place and what their plan is? Get ready for an epic adventure across 65 episodes, 800 minutes of audio, and hundreds of miles.
MOTIVATING GAMEPLAY

It has a fantastic plot and wonderful characters, and is a brilliant way to keep yourself distracted while having a long walk. Would be good if there was a continuation to this story, or even a prequel.
Definitely not for running

I suppose that should be obvious with a name like "the walk", but it's impossible to have the phone in your pocket or on your arm while playing because you'll miss things on the map. Also, the accents sound fake and are super annoying. To the point where I stopped playing after the second or third "chapter". Would be good if you get bored walking to work or school and don't like listening to music.
Good app with a hitch
Poor read
I have only had the app for three days and in that time completed three chapters. However at some point today the ZombieLink app stopped working and now its not linking back up. I’ve paid for ZombieRun and on the first day with The Walk all the lock buttons turned to download buttons, but now they’ve changed back to locks.
Amazing for incentive
