Beat Box Mapper lets you add Beat Boxes to your challenge map, for example near where you live. Beat Boxes you add appear in the Roots app for everyone in your challenge, giving you and your colleagues more places to play.

Protect your privacy: everyone in your challenge can see Beat Boxes on the map. Avoid placing one directly outside your own home. Choose a public spot a short walk away instead, such as a nearby path, park or local landmark.

What you need

  • A Roots account. Beat Box Mapper uses the same email and password as the Roots app.
  • To have joined your challenge in the Roots app. If you haven't, you'll see "Mapping is only available after you join an active Roots game."
  • A phone, tablet or computer with a web browser.

Signing in

  1. Go to app.rootshealthacademy.com.
  2. Enter the email and password you use for the Roots app and select Sign in.

You can't create an account or reset your password in Beat Box Mapper. Do both in the Roots app, then come back and sign in. If you see "Confirm your email before you sign in.", finish verifying your email in the Roots app first.

When can I add Beat Boxes?

You can add and move Beat Boxes while mapping is open for your challenge. At other times you can still view the map, but you'll see Mapping is closed.
