About The Snail: Walk for your life
THE SNAIL IS COMING The Snail turns your real-world movement into an ongoing game of pursuit. Adopt a Bobo, give it a name, and walk to keep the snail from catching up. 100% hand-drawn, human-made art. SURVIVE THE PURSUIT Reach your daily step goal to hold the snail back. Miss it, and the snail moves closer. Every walk can buy your Bobo more time. LIFE WITH A BOBO Your Bobo shares the journey with you. Care for it, build its lifetime step count, and look back on the days you protected it. If the snail catches up, your Bobo is remembered in the Memorial Hall and a new story can begin. More Bobos are hidden throughout the game. Each secret Bobo has its own unusual condition, clue, or place in the world. SECRETS IN YOUR STEPS Collect sigils by reaching milestones and spending time with your Bobo. Each sigil reveals a small piece of lore. Your protection history also holds a longer story, written one character at a time by the days you meet your goal. FEATURES • Daily step goals that protect your Bobo • A live map of the pursuit • Bobos to adopt, name, care for, customize, and discover • Steward Levels and Bobo progression • Hidden stories and secret unlocks • Memorial Hall and a rolling protection history • Distinct themes with light and dark modes • Blind Mode without progress or location feedback • Optional local reminders and check-in warnings • The ability to pause an active journey The Snail can read step counts from Apple Health, with your permission, to keep game progress in sync. The game can be played without location access. The Snail Premium unlocks additional themes and lets players set any daily step goal. Premium is an annually renewing subscription with a 14-day free trial for eligible subscribers. Stay aware of your surroundings, follow local laws, and never take risks for the game.
