The odds, per egg

Built for runners first.
Splits, zones, best efforts and your full history from Strava or Apple Health. The game never touches your numbers.
Every two miles,
someone new.
Questions runners ask
Is there a running app that feels like a game?
Yes. Waybound is a running game for iPhone. Your real runs and walks move you up a painted map each month, and every 2 miles an egg hatches one of 200 collectible creatures. Underneath the game it is a full GPS run tracker, with pace, splits, heart rate and best efforts.
How does Waybound work?
Record a run or walk with your iPhone's GPS. Every mile moves you up this month's painted path, the same path your friends are on. There is a stop every 2 miles, and each stop hatches an egg with one creature inside, which goes into your Journal with the run it came from. On the 1st of each month everyone starts the new path at mile 0; your Journal, level and lifetime miles never reset. See how it works.
Do I have to run, or do walks count?
Walks count. The same distance moves you the same way and earns the same XP whether you ran it or walked it. Distance is measured by GPS outdoors, so treadmill runs do not count, and stretches at vehicle speeds are left out.
What is a fun app for walking?
Waybound is a walking game as much as a running game. Every walk moves you up a painted map shared with your friends, and every 2 miles an egg hatches one of 200 collectible creatures. Walks count exactly like runs, with the same distance and the same XP, so you never have to run.
Does it work on Android?
No. Waybound is for iPhone only, and there is no Android version. It needs iOS 16.4 or later.
What are the odds of a Mythic?
At base odds, about 1 in 640 finds is a Mythic. The other rarities: Common about 2 in 3, Uncommon about 1 in 4, Rare about 1 in 19, Epic about 1 in 75 and Legendary about 1 in 235. The further up the month's path you are, the better the odds, and about 1 in 64 finds is Fabled, a rare pearl strike of that creature.
Does it work with Apple Watch, WHOOP or Oura?
Yes, through Apple Health. Turn on Apple Health in Waybound's settings and the running and walking workouts that Apple Watch, WHOOP, Oura or other apps save to Health this month count toward the race. Workouts without a GPS route do not move you along the map, and a workout that overlaps a run you recorded in Waybound counts once.
Can I import my Strava history?
Yes. Connect Strava in Waybound's settings to bring in your past runs and walks as history. Imported Strava activities stay in your own history: they do not move you along the race, earn XP or hatch creatures, and friends never see them.
Is Waybound free?
Waybound is free to download and has no ads. The App Store listing shows any optional subscription and its price. Nothing in Waybound sells better odds or luck.
Is my location data private?
Waybound uses your location while you record a run or walk, and while the Record tab is open on screen. It has no ads, does not sell your data and does not track you across other apps. Routes, locations and health data are never sent to analytics. Read the Privacy Policy.
