RunWars vs INTVL: Two Ways to Turn Running Into Territory
Looking for a running app that makes the map part of the game? RunWars and INTVL both sit in the territory-running category. The useful question is which game mechanic makes you want to run again tomorrow.
Play RunWarsRunWars is built around hexagons
In RunWars, the world is divided into geographic hexagons. Run through a hexagon to compete for it; your distance within it contributes to its strength. This gives each run a set of clear, local objectives on a map of the city.
The hexagon model is especially useful for runners who want to make a short route count. You do not need to plan a large shape before you start: choose an area, run through it and see how your activity affects the shared map.
Choose the mechanics that fit your motivation
Territory-running apps can use different rules, so compare the current app experience before choosing one. Consider how an activity claims an area, whether you prefer solo exploration or teams, how competition works and which activity sources you use for your runs.
RunWars includes team play, battles and rankings alongside its hexagon map. It is a fit for runners who want a visible territory system that works with real GPS activities and adds a social challenge to familiar routes.
Try the map that makes you move
The best running game is the one that turns an intention to train into an actual run. If capturing, defending and contesting hexagons sounds motivating, RunWars gives you a direct way to make your city part of the game.
Download RunWars for iOS or Android, then take your next route through a hexagon you want to claim.
