The short version
PathBloom is a voxel exploration game for iPhone that turns everyday walks into discovery. Your city starts out muted gray. Walk somewhere new, and it blooms into flowers, grass, and trees that are yours to keep.

About the game
PathBloom’s map begins in soft gray-lavender: your real neighborhood, waiting. Start a walk with one tap and every street you’ve never taken blossoms into voxel flowers, grass, and trees as you pass. The color is permanent. Over weeks your city fills in, walk by walk, into a garden only you could have grown.
There’s more pulling you outside than the map itself. Each morning the game sketches a fresh route through streets you haven’t bloomed yet, sized for a real walk rather than a hike. Weekly leaderboards reset every Monday for friendly competition with your city and the world, with rank titles that climb from Curious Sprout upward. Petals earned by walking can be spent in the Bloom Boutique on trail themes and share frames. Nothing you buy or watch an ad for ever touches scores, progress, or the map; cosmetics only.
Privacy is a design decision, not a settings page. PathBloom has no accounts and no analytics. Routes and GPS traces are processed on the phone and never leave it. The only thing shared is an optional leaderboard entry (a chosen name, an avatar, a city, and scores), and a single toggle deletes it from public view immediately.
