Official sources
What you actually play in Trailbound
Trailbound follows fixed, literature-inspired journeys: Don Quivano with 1,770.7 km and 14 story locations, or the Odyssey with 7,500 km and 36 locations. Walk where you live, not at the real-world settings. Between milestones, the map shows your progress; there is not a new story moment after every walk.
Which differences matter to your choice?
- Story: Would you prefer a literary journey, a halfling quest or an original fantasy world?
- Pace: Do long, fixed milestones suit you, or do you want more frequently changing tasks?
- Step source: Before buying, check that your activity reaches the required data source on your device.
- Cost: Separate free limits, one-time purchases and subscriptions. Each app’s current checkout is the source for its price.
Try the free start first
Trailbound lets you try up to 3 km of adventure progress each day for free. Pro removes that limit with a one-time purchase. The separate Social monthly subscription is for private friend battles, not the solo story.
Explore Don Quivano’s route, real store feedback and step-source setup. We do not claim that GPS-free progress or social features are exclusive to Trailbound.
