About the Game

Your real-life fitness activities energize the mysterious Mana Well.


  • Sync activities: Connect with Strava to transmute running, walking, hiking, and cycling into precious Mana. Step counting is also supported when connecting with Fitbit.
  • Level up: Use Mana to collect new characters, items, quests, achievements, and more.
  • Embark on a fitness adventure: Set up camp, assemble your party, and journey to distant lands. Each day your team can gain more experience and power.
  • Your own pace: WREN is meant to be played in short sessions following exercise. This trek is a marathon, not a sprint.
