Train together. Win on effort.

01 — Design versions

Every version, preserved

The design has progressed in whole, preserved versions — nothing is thrown away. v3 is the founder's original pitch made literal: a 3D battle course with avatars running your reps; v2 took the track-and-field board-game turn; v1 is Ben's Figma built faithful. The replay shows a full match in 90 seconds.

V3Current direction

The 3D battle course

The original pitch, made literal — a 3D course with a lane per runner, Geno avatars under real mocap advancing as reps land, power-up cards floating overhead, and the charity pot on a trophy pedestal at the finish. Same engine: draft, points, dual deadline.

Open v3 → /v3

V2The board-game era

The track & field board game

Same engine, new presentation — a board-game table: lanes, dealt power-up cards, the pot, seasons. The turn the design took before the course went 3D — kept live.

Open v2 → /v2

V1Preserved forever

The Figma-faithful app

Ben's design, built faithful — the lime phone-first app. 65 screens, the real match engine, fully offline. The starting point, kept live as the design progression.

02 — The match

The 300

One match, one week, one target: 300 raw reps. The match runs inside your existing group chat — no new app to open, no schedule to agree on.

1. 01

   Pick exercises

   The crew picks two or three exercises for the match. Anything countable — push-ups, squats, lunges.

2. 02

   Any reps, any order

   Log from the chat or the app, any time. Ten before coffee, forty at midnight. Mix exercises freely.

3. 03

   First to target closes

   The match closes the moment a player's raw reps hit the target — 300 by default. Sudden-death energy, all week.

4. 04

   Effort-adjusted winner

   Raw reps settle the clock. Handicapped scores settle the winner — your tier multiplies every rep you log.

03 — The handicap

Effort beats fitness

Every player carries a fitness tier, and the tier multiplies every rep. A couch player's push-up is worth more than an athlete's. This is the real engine math — drag the slider.

04 — The squad

Same gym, four paces

The couch potato grinds slow and heavy. The athlete flies. The handicap does the rest — watch the raw counters drift apart while the adjusted scores stay neck and neck.

Different pace, same shot at winning.

05 — The system

One engine, every chat

Thin adapters translate platform events into a single command bus. One API, one match engine — every group chat. Adding Messenger later is one adapter, not a rewrite.

• WhatsApp — chat adapter
• Slack — chat adapter
• Messenger — Phase 4
• RWF API — command bus
• game-core — match engine
• Postgres — history
• Redis — live state

06 — Verification

Counted, not trusted

Rep counts are cheap to lie about, so the system verifies them — in layers, each shipping in a different phase.

07 — Features

Built to stay fun

The match is the hook. These are the reasons the group chat keeps playing on week twelve.

08 — The app

Inside the app

Phone-first and hand-built with the same design system as this site. Tap any screen to open the real thing.
