Missions
Small goals that change the route a player takes today.
The living city
Give people a reason to care tomorrow.
Territory gets them outside. Local rivalry, missions, timed events and squads bring them back.
Retention without clutter
Four systems are enough to start.
Keep the first version focused. Make each system directly support walking or territory.
Leaderboards
City and suburb rankings make the competition personal.
Hot Zones
Bonus quadrants create temporary battles around the city.
Squads
Teams coordinate attacks and compete for broader control.
Notifications
Tell players when something they care about has changed.
