StepPaws 🐾

Sometimes, you just want to lie on the grass or chase a car…

Tell us about your walking companions.

We’d love to see your four-legged (or maybe not only four-legged) friends 🐈‍⬛

Share photos of your walks with them in the comments.

We’ll pick some of the best ones and might even set up a poll to find the cutest or coolest tails out there 🥇

Remember to keep your fluffy friends comfortable.

Not everyone enjoys walking in the rain, and hardly anyone likes being outside in a storm.

But they’re just as eager to explore this big world.

Especially when they have someone as big and smart as you by their side ☮️

Wishing everyone clean paws and tasty treats!

See you on a walk with StepMania 🥾

2 days! Only 2 days left until the results of the first giveaway from StepMania ⏳

What will happen on February 26?

This time, we’ll keep it brief. You’ll learn more details tomorrow:

1️⃣ On February 26 at 15:00 MSK, the opportunity to participate will close.
2️⃣ At 15:01, all participants in the giveaway will go into a randomizer, which will randomly select the prize winners.
3️⃣ At 18:00, the results will be announced in the app and on our official channels.

After that, it’s just a matter of sending out the prizes and launching a new giveaway

💬 It seems we’ve covered the most important points. Now it’s your turn – write your questions in the comments!

Today, we're dedicating the day to short posts about the giveaway – we promise to share all the details!

How will winners find out they won? 📝

At 18:00 (UTC+3), the results will appear in the app – if you’ve won, it will be displayed there.

We'll also publish the last digits of the winners’ Telegram account IDs in our channel. (You can check your ID here).

🐱 Don't forget – besides iPhones, watches, and TG-premium subscriptions, there are also coins. We want everyone to get their bonus!

🤍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

How will we deliver the prizes? 📭

We can ship physical prizes to any city and country! Winners will receive instructions after their win, and the prize will follow soon after.

Telegram Premium prizes will be sent out in 30 days, and coins will be credited automatically.

📸We’ll definitely share a photo report!

🤍🤍⭐️⭐️⭐️

What is a randomizer and why specifically it? 🎲

We chose a randomizer instead of a live broadcast for several reasons:
1️⃣ The StepMania community speaks different languages. It's impossible to create a universal storyline.
2️⃣ The randomizer has been tested multiple times – neither staff nor cheaters can influence the results.
3️⃣ We will publish a photo report from the winners along with their prizes (we'll be looking forward to their photos).

In other aspects, it’s purely a matter of luck. We, on our part, will do our best to provide each participant with a bonus 🪙

🤍🤍🤍⭐️⭐️

Will there be more giveaways? 🗓

Of course. The current contest is just one of the few events from StepMania. Once we finish it, we will start the next one.

📱 Check the app not to miss anything (especially your prizes).

🤍🤍🤍🤍⭐️

Cheaters in the giveaway 💻

Unfortunately, some people see the call for a walk as an opportunity to inflate their steps and deceive us.

❓ Why? We don’t know; if you have any insights, please share your thoughts.

And yes, they may have slipped into the giveaway. But we can assure you that the randomizer will check their activity for manipulation.

🫡 Don’t worry – your prizes are in safe hands.

🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

There are 2 hours left until the end of the giveaway ⏳

In 2 hours, it will no longer be possible to participate, and at 6:00 PM (UTC+3), the randomizer will select over 100 winners.

🎁 You could be one of them – exchange your tickets in the "giveaway" section to participate

Caution, random works are in progress 🎲

All participants' tickets have been sent to the randomizer, and it’s no longer possible to participate.

🏆 Very soon, it will select the winners of the contest! The results will be announced at 18:00 (UTC+3). Who do you think will make it onto the list?

⛔️ IMPORTANT: Beware of scammers.
1. No StepMania employees will message you first regarding prize collection. All instructions will be waiting for you in the app.
2. No one can ask you to transfer any amount of money in order to receive a prize.
3. All communication occurs only through the support bot, and no personal accounts are involved in communication.

Do not let yourself be deceived

Thank you all for participating!

❓ What were we doing at the moment of announcing the results?

Do you think there are cheaters in the project? Of course, there are!
And we do not want them to take the prizes

For this reason, a few hours before the results, we did a lot of work:
1️⃣ Our “anti-cheat” created a list of potential violators. Those whose actions and tickets we do not trust based on various criteria. (we won't list them to avoid tempting new ways to cheat)
2️⃣ We automatically excluded malicious violators from the giveaway. Those who 100% tried to deceive us and you.
3️⃣ For those flagged as “potential cheaters” by the anti-cheat system, we had to check manually. Opening each one up and delving into their data, excluding them in case of confirmed violations.
4️⃣ After that, we launched the randomizer.
5️⃣ Then we went through and ensured that among the winners there were no individuals we do not trust. It turned out there were none.

In total, several hundred fraudsters were excluded from the giveaway.

✅ Did we manage to eliminate all of them? Definitely not. But each time we will identify them more, with greater accuracy and speed. And we have only just started. Together, we will defeat all fraudsters and manipulators.

P.S. Why didn't you, one of the 22,000 participants, win an iPhone? A soulless, yet honest randomizer is precisely that – a randomizer, as it selects in a random manner. Next time, luck will be on your side.

This is the last post for today. Now we’re going to rest ❤️

What’s next? 🗓

Three weeks have passed, the first steps have been taken, and it’s time to share our next plans.

💻 What are we doing behind the laptops that you will see in the app?
– We are making the connection steps simpler and more convenient. Especially for Android. The journey for users on this platform is still complicated and challenging.
– We are scaling our StepPeople community – are you with us?
– We are improving leaderboards and other interaction mechanics with friends to make walking even more enjoyable.
– We are adding features that will expand the use of coins. For example: buying NFTs with coins. What do you think?
– Even more giveaways. We will conduct more events with different mechanics, prize pools, and drawing timelines. Together, we will find out what is most interesting and resonates the most.

🌟 A bit about listing
There have been many questions about it, and yes – we are striving for it, but at the same time, we want to ensure quality and long-term support for the coin and not to turn into a scam. Therefore, we are not rushing you and are moving towards our goal step by step. You have plenty of time to accumulate coins.
Whether to spend them or not is your choice. Our choice is to motivate you for greater offline activity through our online solutions.

👊 By the way. What do you think of "StepPeople" as the unofficial name of our community?

Why did we create StepMania? 👣

To motivate people to walk more and, additionally, to delight them with pleasant bonuses.

🪙 StepMania is your partner. A friend who inspires, supports, and rewards you for your activity. Giveaways, games, rewards, and even the opportunity to earn – all of this is simply for your steps! Just walk

💟 We believe that it is through the game that you can achieve any of your goals with enjoyment!

Compare how far you’ve walked in the last three weeks to how much you walked before that. We would be interested to hear if you’ve made progress, or perhaps you’ve started walking less

Bots or cheaters. Who is more important? 🤖

We have seen your concerns about bots in the chat and would like to share our perspective.
You linked your steps, and you may have noticed that the registration process for bots looks quite arduous, especially on Android. It’s easier for bots to tap than to walk. 😂

Therefore, at this moment, we are focusing on cheaters – those who artificially inflate their activity.

❓ Why?
– They destroy the spirit of competition.
– They deceive not only us but the entire community.
– They walk (if they even walk) solely for the coins, while the main idea of StepMania is activity and the endorphins that come with it
– It’s simply unfair

We have shared how we find them and what actions we take in previous posts. Take a look and read through them

🐈‍⬛ For now, we have disabled the leaderboard for our chat.
Watching the same users "honestly" rack up 30-40 thousand steps daily goes against our philosophy and the goals of the project

We will definitely double-check the records. If the numbers prove to be accurate, we will let you know

Play for the steps, not for the numbers
