// The challenge
Making Real-World Movement Part of the Game
Khawi set out to bridge the gap between physical activity and mobile gaming.
The challenge was to create an experience where everyday movement had a meaningful role in gameplay, while maintaining the motivation to complete missions, unlock rewards, and progress through the game.
The concept required two connected experiences: engaging action-based gameplay and a progression system that rewarded movement beyond the screen.
