About CatchCities
CatchCities turns any city into a game you play with your feet. Walk to real landmarks, hidden gems and viewpoints, catch them when you're physically there, and build a streak. It's free to explore, and it works right in your browser — no app store, no sign-up to start.
What it is
CatchCities is a location-based exploration game covering 159 cities and 9,000+ curated places — museums, monuments, viewpoints, food spots, beaches and the odd well-kept secret. Each place is a "catch": get within about 75 metres on foot and tap to collect it. Places carry rarity, from Common cafés up to a single hidden Legendary per city that's only revealed when you reach it.
Built on foot
Every mechanic in the game was tested by actually walking the streets of Rome. The philosophy is older than the app: a city is a living thing, and you can't know it from a list. CatchCities is a set of breadcrumbs, not a checklist — a nudge to look up, take the side street, and notice the things no guidebook indexes.
Who it's for
Travellers
Escape the top-10 trap. Mix the icons with the streets one turn off the main axis, where the real city lives.
Locals
Your city is bigger than your routine. Complete districts you only ever change trains in.
Remote workers & nomads
Break out of the coworking-café-gym triangle with a two-hour loop that ends at a viewpoint you'd never have found.
Everyone with ten spare minutes
A daily quest, streak ranks and badges turn a short walk into a micro-adventure.
How it works
- Open the map and pick your city — as a tourist, local or nomad.
- Walk to a spot and get within ~75 metres.
- Catch it, photo it, and keep the streak alive.
- Complete districts, find the legendary, and climb the leaderboard.
What's inside
- A lean map, your way — start with the icons, add food, beaches or nomad layers (coworking, gyms, yoga, hikes) only if you want them.
- Audio guides — studio-quality narrated guides at landmarks. Pro users can generate their own in 10 voices and 9 languages.
- La Lupa — an in-app concierge that knows your city: where to eat, what to catch next, how to dodge the queues.
- Trips & day plans — pick spots, generate the optimum walking path, and share it with friends (or import theirs).
- Streaks & quests — a daily quest, streak ranks and badges.
