CEO and Founder @ Talofa | MIT | Forbes 30U30 | Building in fitness x gaming

I thought the only way to stay motivated was to train harder. I was wrong. I am a sub-3-hour marathon runner and know firsthand how hard it can be to stay motivated. Building Monster Walk, I discovered something unexpectedly magical: a way to reconnect with that motivation that felt light, fun, and sustainable. I’m excited to announce Talofa's second mobile game, Monster Walk, following the success of Run Legends. Monster Walk offers players a new way to stay active by turning their real-world steps into a whimsical RPG adventure. It’s now live for early access and pre-registration on iOS and Android in select regions! We are pushing the boundaries of what games can do for entertainment and well-being. Monster Walk makes fitness feel effortless because it is a video game first and foremost. Players explore a fantasy world where their steps unlock new areas, help them bond with adorable monsters, and bring life back to a world overtaken by fog. We can’t wait to invite you to start your journey—one step at a time. And a huge thanks to Mac Kerman and his team at Chaos Emporium Inc for working with us on this trailer! #fitnessgaming #fitnessmotivation #newgame #startup #mobilegaming

This is such a fresh take and a unique perspective. I am busy imagining how much fit the world would be once this game hits 1 billion or a few hundred million daily actives. I really hope it does and it does so sooner.

I don’t like the gamification of certain things where I believe it’s much better for people to build discipline and refine their internal drive and desire for doing things, but if it helps more people be active who otherwise wouldn’t, I’ll take that as a win. Best of luck.
