Everyone can take part
Roots is for people of all ages and abilities. Walk, run, cycle, wheel or use a mobility scooter. Go at your own pace, take breaks and play in a way that suits you. If you'd like any extra support, contact us through Settings → Support.
Playing fairly
Roots is about moving more, so please:
- Travel between Beat Boxes under your own power. Don't use a car, motorbike or other motor vehicle. E-bikes are fine because you still pedal.
- Only play on your own phone and account. Don't collect Beat Boxes for someone else.
Points earned unfairly may be removed, which also affects your team. If you think someone isn't playing fairly, tell us through Settings → Support. Please don't photograph or film other people without their permission.
Staying safe
- Phone: look up from your screen while you move. Stop somewhere safe before using your phone.
- Roads: take care crossing roads and follow the Highway Code.
- Be seen: wear something bright in the day and reflective in the dark. Use lights on your bike.
- Respect others: stay on public paths and pavements, and never enter private property. You can collect Beat Boxes and Hidden Gems from nearby, so you never need to stand on someone's driveway.
- Your health: exercise within your limits. If you have a health condition or feel pain when exercising, check with your doctor first.
