Walk

Walk anywhere.

Lore counts your steps through Apple Health. Every step moves the case forward. The dog walk counts. The walk to work counts.

Find clues

Every step uncovers a clue.

Walk far enough and a new clue appears on a real map of your city, on streets near you. About two a night, around fifteen per case. Streets you haven’t walked stay hidden in fog.

  • Streets you walk light up and stay lit.
  • Clues appear near you. No detours needed.

Collect

Walk to it. Hold to collect.

Each clue sits at a real spot. Walk there, press and hold, and it’s added to your case file.
