Collect your first Beat Box
- Open the Map tab and head to a Beat Box.
- When you're within about 30 metres, the Beat Box opens on your screen.
- Use Slide to collect. You can tell us how you're travelling, or skip this step.
This starts your journey and a 60-minute timer, shown at the top of the map. You collect Beat Boxes in the app, so there's nothing to touch or tap at the location.
Keep your journey going
Reach a different Beat Box before the timer runs out and collect it. You then earn points for both Beat Boxes, and the timer restarts at 60 minutes. Keep going for as long as you like.
Your first Beat Box shows 0 points until you collect a second one in time. That's normal. The points are added as soon as your journey continues.
Points
- Most Beat Boxes are worth 10 points. You can see the points when you open a Beat Box.
- Every so often a collection is a Lucky Tap and earns bonus points.
- Some Bonus Beat Boxes only appear on the map during special events.
Good to know
- Leave at least 1 minute between collecting Beat Boxes, or the second one won't score.
- You can go back to a Beat Box you've already visited, as long as you collect a different one in between.
- If notifications are on, Roots reminds you when your time is running out.
- To end a journey early, tap the stop button next to the timer.
- Play as many times a day as you like.
