Keep walking - your pet’s life depends on it

Motivation

Many people live sedentary lifestyles and lack the motivation to exercise. SparkPet is a mobile app that encourages users to exercise by gamifying movement. The app allows users to create a virtual pet that they must keep alive by walking - the pet’s health is directly tied to the user’s walking habits. If the user fails to walk enough, their pet will lose health and eventually die.

Goals

Create an accessible, easy-to-use mobile app that motivates users to create healthy, sustainable habits by gamifying exercise.
