Missile Wars• Are you the type of person

who can’t stand going to the

gym or “running for fun”?

Interested in mixing some

traditional elements of real

time strategy games with

real-world fitness?

Missile Wars might be just the app for you.

Missile Wars• When players sign up and log into

the app, other players can launch

missile attacks at them. After the

missile is launched, players have a

60-second timeframe in which

they have to physically get out of

the blast zone: this often requires

some fast-paced running.

Missile Wars• Players earn points for

successfully blasting others

with missiles; these points

can then be exchanged for

upgraded missiles with a

wider blast range.

Missile Wars• The app’s developers keep a

running leaderboard online

so that you can see the top

players and those who have

recently launched an

attack.

Missile Wars• Holly, Julie has sent a deadly

missile your way! You have

60 seconds to get out of the

red blast center…run! Haha,

I’m too quick for Julie’s puny

missile, now she’s in for a

serious counter-strike.

Missile Wars• If you succeed you can

work your way up the ranks

and unlock more weapons

and be promoted to

Sargent, Commander, etc.

Missile Wars• This is a great example of

how gamification took a

traditional workout and

made it fun and interactive,

thus encouraging people to

workout harder and more

often.
