WHAT OUR USERS ARE SAYING:
"This is an incredible idea and is one of the few apps I've downloaded that changes how I go about my day to day routine. My wife loves to use it while we're driving. She enjoys sending us on alternate (or "scenic" routes) just to take territories from people. This application has made hitting a red light or a wall of traffic a positive thing, and there aren't many apps out there that can pull that off. There's something about taking a territory from a friend that is simply exhilarating. The amount of backstabbing that's gone on in my office over the day has been hilarious and there are already talks of road trips just to build up scores."
"I had a dream about this app last night. I dreamt that I walked all the way around the great wall of China, just to gain the territory."
"This is a great and very original app. It makes me want to ride my bike down the street just to get a new territory!"
