Street Tag
A fun, free, smartphone app that offers rewards for exercise.
CBC have launched a new initiative to encourage active lifestyles and help residents discover and explore their local areas, parks and green spaces
by walking, running or cycling by using a fun new game. Street Tag turns physical activity into a game and converts walking, running and cycling into Street Tag points (tags). Turning streets and parks into a giant virtual playground.
The family-friendly game rewards lower/ middle and Primary schools, families, individuals and communities for their physical activities such as walking, running, cycling.
When playing Street Tag, you can record the distance walked, run or cycled by scanning virtual tags with your smartphone at various geographic locations. Watch your total distance accumulate and see how far you climb up the local leaderboard and compare with other players. The app can run in the background, so it automatically collects tags in a 40-metre radius allowing you to focus on your journey and not your phone.
If you are in an area of Central Bedfordshire that doesn’t have many tags, you can also use the app to add more yourself, enabling you to collect extra points every time you go for a walk run or cycle. Each game season lasts from 14 to 16 weeks. In that time schools, groups and individuals can compete with each other to hit the top of the leader board and become the winner!
Get ready to push the boundaries and start your journey to a healthy lifestyle with Street Tag.
