Capture the flag, for real parks

Plant your flag in real parks.

Go to a park, plant your flag, and steal your friends’ flags.

How a game works

  1. Go to a park.

    Get inside the boundary and plant your flag.

    Arrival card: Welcome to Holland Point, inside the boundary. Nobody holds this park yet, with a Plant your flag button

  2. Hold it.

    Earn points for as long as your flag flies.

  3. Take theirs.

    Plant on another walker’s park to take it and earn points for the steal.

  4. Walk it again.

    Visit your flag on tomorrow’s walk to keep it flying.

Your @handle. Your flag.

Everyone sees it on the parks you hold and up the leaderboard.

The Everyone leaderboard: @salish_sky first, @island_ivy second and @fern_finn third, each with their flag

1,078 parks. Which one’s yours?

There’s likely one closer than you think.
