Turn Your Steps Into a Game (You'll Actually Want to Play)
Bored of plain step counting? Motion turns your walks into quests, tiles, and friendly competitions - so you keep moving because it's fun, not because you “should.”
Step Counter Games That Make Walking Stick
Most step counters show a number. Helpful, sure - until motivation fades and the number stops moving. Step counter games fix that by turning everyday movement into tiny wins: flip a tile, complete a pattern, finish a quest, help your team. Motion wraps your steps in playful structure so you want to come back tomorrow.
With Motion, your steps unlock progress across multiple game modes. One walk might flip a Bingo tile, push you toward a weekly pattern, nudge your pod ahead in a challenge, and level up your Motmot. It's not just counting - it's a cascade of small rewards that makes walking feel satisfying again.
New to Motion? Start with our Motion for Walking hub. It links to the best resources for walkers and anchors all of our step-focused experiences.
The Best Step Counter Games in Motion
1) Fit Bingo - The Crowd Favorite
Our community begged for the return of Fitbit's Bingo. We rebuilt it and made it better. Your board includes step goals (e.g., “Walk 8,000 steps”), distance tiles, variety tasks, and fun wildcards. Complete the target pattern before time runs out to win. Play solo, race friends, or team up. Learn more on Fit Bingo.
2) Seasonal Walking Quests
During special events, a themed “path” opens - think winter arcs or big lock-ins. Your steps progress you along a unique route with limited-time tiles, collectibles, and badges. Can't finish this season? Pick it up when the portal returns. Long-term progress becomes a badge of honor.
3) Weekly Activity Battles (Effort-Based)
Forget raw step totals that favor the already-active. Motion uses effort-based goals so a beginner's 100% week equals an athlete's 100% week. Fair, exciting, and genuinely motivating. See weekly battles.
4) Daily Quests & Streaks
Small, achievable nudges that keep you moving: “Walk for 10 minutes,” “Hit your step goal 3 days this week,” “Take a photo on your walk.” Steps feed streaks, streaks feed momentum.
Why Step Games Work Better Than Just Counting
Plain numbers don't care how your week is going. Games do. Motion turns steps into visible progress (tiles flipped, routes completed), adds multiple win conditions (solo, team, effort-based), and builds social accountability without shame. You're not racing the fastest runner - you're progressing through a story that adapts to you.
Behind the scenes, our adaptive AI goals keep things achievable. If life gets busy, your goal eases off. If you're thriving, it nudges you up. That balance keeps the game fun instead of frustrating.

Frequently asked questions
If you have anything else you want to ask, reach out to us.
What are step counter games?
They're game modes that use your step count as progress. In Motion, steps flip Bingo tiles, move you along seasonal routes, advance daily quests, and contribute to fair weekly competitions.
Do I need a smartwatch to play?
No. Motion works great with phone-only step tracking. If you have Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit, or Samsung, connect it once and your steps sync automatically.
How is competition fair if my friends run and I walk?
Motion uses effort-based goals powered by our adaptive AI. Hitting 100% of your personal goal counts the same for everyone, so walkers and runners can compete.
Is this like Fitbit's old Bingo?
It's inspired by it! We rebuilt Bingo in Motion with more variety, smarter tiles, and wider device support. See Fit Bingo for details.
