Revision as of 15:25, 10 January 2021

World map with countries where Turf is officially launched marked in green. Other countries with region division are marked in light green.

Turf is officially available in nine countries, where the app is available for download at Google Play/App Store. These countries are in turn divided into regions, corresponding to e.g. county in Sweden, each with a regional toplist.

A user's website at turfgame.com also presents a further division of regions, areas, which correspond to municipalities in Sweden and is called municipality in Turf.

In other countries, there is normally a few turf zones available for traveling turfers to take, so-called "Tourist zones". In these countries, there is normally no regional division, but the whole country constitutes a single region.

At present, there are zones on all continents except Antarctica.

Countries where Turf is officially available

Netherlands Nederländerna flagga.png

Turf expanded in August 2011 to the Netherlands. At the launch, the "turf" event CampZone was arranged on a large LAN. It gave some response but not as much as hoped.

South Korea Sydkorea flagga.png

When the next country was to be launched, a country with a very high proportion of Android phones and with a people interested in gaming, South Korea, was chosen. Despite contacts with people in South Korea, it was tricky to attract enough players.

Denmark Danmark flagga.png

At the beginning of 2012 it was Denmark's turn. A flat country where we Swedes understand the language, an easy match. People were attracted through various forums, among other things. In March, Turf appeared in a local newspaper in Denmark, Nordvestnyt. Marketing has taken place on forums and Facebook.

Norway Norge flagga.png
