What is ChasingGems?
ChasingGems transforms your outdoor activities into an exciting treasure hunt. We place virtual "gems" on real-world roads and paths, turning every run, walk, or hike into a gamified adventure where exploration meets fitness.
Virtual Gems
Discover gems scattered throughout your area, each worth points and achievements
Real Activities
Your actual runs, walks and hikes (bike rides coming soon) automatically sync from Strava to track gem collection
Achievements
Earn badges, climb leaderboards, and compete with friends as you build your gem collection
