A real snail is
hunting you.

Yes. When you start a session, the app tracks your actual GPS coordinates. The snail uses your real location to navigate toward you. There's no simulation — it's using the same location data as Google Maps.

Yes. The snail moves server-side every minute regardless of whether your phone is on or off. Your location is updated in the background using iOS location services. The snail never stops — even while you sleep.

0.05 km/h — the real average speed of a garden snail. That's about 1.2km per day. If you stay completely still, a snail starting 1km away will catch you in roughly 20 hours. If you keep moving, it may never catch you.

When the snail gets within 10 metres of your GPS location, your run ends. You'll get a push notification, and next time you open the app you'll see your death screen with your survival time and closest call distance. Then you can try again.

No. The snail doesn't pause. You can quit a session manually, but it counts as a death. The only way to win is to keep moving — or never stop.

Yes. You'll get a unique invite link to share. When they download the app and open it, the snail you sent is already waiting for them — 300 metres away.

Your location is only used to calculate the snail's path. We never sell your data, never share it with third parties, and only store approximate positions for gameplay. You can delete your account and all data at any time.

The snail moves once every 60 seconds. Your location is also sent to the server every 60 seconds (or every 20 metres if you're moving). This keeps the game accurate without draining your battery. The snail only moves at 0.05 km/h — a one-minute delay makes no real difference to your survival.

There's a prize — but only for the first person to do it. Survive 100 days with a real snail actively hunting your GPS location — unflagged, no cheating — and we'll be in touch. There are also prizes for the first to reach 200 days and 300 days. Nobody has done it yet. The Hall of Fame will show you when someone does.

The snail follows you. Fly to the other side of the world — it's still coming. It moves at 0.05 km/h, so international travel buys you a lot of time. But it never stops.
