Zone

A zone represents an area of the real world, generally around 25x25 meters, which you can see in the Turf application. Players can take over zones by, in the real world, stepping into them with Turf and their GPS turned on.

Zones are created by zone makers and should follow the Zone Guidelines. Players may propose new zones from within the app.

Points

By taking over a zone the player instantly receives some takeover points, as well as points per hour (PPH). The player will receive PPH until the zone is taken by another player.

States

Colour

A zone can be different colours at different times.

Neutral

Somebody else's

Yours

Selected

• Neutral - The zone has not yet been taken over this round and thus has no owner. Players receive a neutral bonus by taking over neutral zones.
• Somebody else's - The zone is owned by somebody that is not you. You can take over this zone unless blocked.
• Yours - The zone is yours and generating PPH.
• Selected - The zone is currently selected on the map.

Blocked

After taking over a zone it will enter a cooldown period where it cannot be taken over; it is blocked.
The length of the block time depends on variables such as the taker's rank.

Types

Water zone

Taking such a zone is rewarded with an Order of Aquamen medal from May to October.
