The problem

Two problems, one walk

WalkMate tackles two pressing issues in Hong Kong — and turns them into a daily adventure.

🏃

Students aren't moving enough

Screens keep kids indoors. WalkMate makes the real reward live outside — every step in the real world powers the game.

🦜

Local biodiversity is being forgotten

Hong Kong's hillsides and coasts are full of native birds, plants, marine life and insects. WalkMate helps students rediscover and care about them.

The solution

How it works

An outdoor-exploration & biodiversity-collection app, made for Hong Kong students.

🧭

Movement triggers discovery

Using your location, species and rewards only appear when you actually move through parks, country trails and the waterfront. Walk to discover — and earn items to raise your pet.

📖

Learning by exploring

Enter a real ecological zone and your field guide unlocks the local species — backed by a Hong Kong biodiversity database. Play and learn your way to becoming a little naturalist.

🧸

Designed for kids

No dry data dumps — just adorable pets, collectible cards and badges. It builds a sense of achievement and a walking habit, never competitive pressure.

In the app

Everything you can do

🗺️

Diverse routes

Themed walks across Hong Kong's nature and urban landscapes — like the 2 km Pak Shek Kok Promenade, home to 10+ species.

📸

Checkpoints & rewards

Reach a checkpoint, snap a retro polaroid, and unlock mystery items and collectible cards.

🥚

Pet companions

Steps become energy. Hatch, feed and customize a pixel pet that grows with your walking habit.

🃏

Collectible field guide

Capture digital versions of native birds, plants, marine life and insects — one walk at a time.

💬

AI companion & chat

A friendly companion shares nature facts, exploration tips and a weather-aware nudge to head out.

🫂

Friends & leaderboards

Add classmates by code or QR, share a friendly feed, and climb school-wide rankings together.

Co-creation

Design routes. Earn creator points.

Students can build their own hiking routes and set exploration points for others to discover. A creator-points system rewards routes that classmates explore the most — nurturing community leadership and creativity, not just kilometres.
