Every step you take in Taichung leaves a footprint

Two things, kept apart

Footprints lead five ways

The five sides are not separate levels. They simply show which sides of the city you have touched and which you have not.

• Into the place

  Walk a route, play a City Hunt, come back again.

• Support local

  Spend here and step into our partner shops.

• Learn & teach

  Take a class, join a gathering, pass on what you know.

• Connect

  Bring a friend and share Taichung’s stories.

• Care for it

  Join a volunteer session and do something for the city.

How it adds up

Book or play with the same email address and it is recorded automatically — nothing to apply for.

Questions

Does it add up even if I have not signed in?

Yes. As long as you booked or played with the same email address, it is recorded under that address. Sign in to the member page later with a Google account on that email to see it.

Do I get coins for a Google review?

No. Google does not allow reviews to be rewarded, so we are simply grateful for them — no footprints and no coins.

Can I transfer coins or turn them into cash?

Coins themselves cannot be transferred or cashed out. Once exchanged for a voucher, the voucher can be given to a friend from your member page.

Will you tell me before my coins expire?

Yes. When coins are within 30 days of expiring we send one reminder email — once per expiry month.
