Here is a quick summary of how they are calculated:

• Late mornings: If your first registered movement of the day is after a certain time in the morning.
• Second Breakfast: If you have moved around, but then take a break between certain times in the morning.
• Elevenses: Similar to second breakfast but somewhat later.
• Afternoon Tea: Also similar but in the afternoon.

Mr Underhill is very fast indeed! He is in a great hurry as the fate of the world rests on his shoulders. Still, he does take a couple of very long breaks along the way (it is hard to blame him when there is elven food, wine and song on the menu). If you want to challenge him then you should aim at averaging at least 8 miles (13 km) per day, with “Paddling bonus” turned on.

Luckily, for those of us that identify more with the the average halfling, there are other challengers to choose from.

Yes. Just make sure that Fantasy Hike has access to your Apple Health “Running + Walking Distance” data.

Yes

The Google Health (Fitbit) app can sync your walking and running distance from your Fitbit device to Apple Health, which Fantasy Hike can then access.

Add your Fitbit device to the Google Health (Fitbit) app and ensure it is syncing the "Walking + Running Distance" activity with Apple Health. Ensure that Fantasy Hike has access to read "Walking + Running Distance" from Apple Health.

Note: Older versions of the Fitbit app did not support syncing data with Apple Health.

Go to:

This will let you search for all data that has been reported since your quest started.

Fantasy Hike does not yet have a way to report data manually directly in the app. However you can report data manually in the Health App and then Fantasy Hike will ‘pick it up’ from there.

You can report data manually here:

You can do this in the Health app:

Then verify that Fantasy Hike is allowed to read Walking + Running Distance.

No. Fantasy Hike uses the “Walking + Running distance” activity. However, sometimes you may receive notifications of quest progress when you drive. Apps in the background are not active all the time, Fantasy Hike “wakes up” in the background when iOS allows it and checks if there is any updates. This can result in a short delay in receiving the notifications of your progress.

No, not currently.

If you choose to create a Fantasy Hike account then the data that you share with your friends is saved on our servers but your complete quest history is not. If you want to transfer your quest to a new phone see “How do I transfer my Quest to my new phone”.

If you use Apple's Quick Start or if you use an iCloud backup to set up your new phone then your Fantasy Hike quest should be transfered as well.

You can also manually save your quest and then load it on your new phone. You save/load your quest here:

If you have lost your old phone then contact us, and we can see if we can help you recreate your quest.

No, you do not need a Premium subscription to use Fantasy Hike. However, without a Premium subscription there is a limit to your daily walking distance.

As an alternative to a Premium subscription, you can watch ads to increase your daily walking distance.

Note: Unfortunately there are some regions in which we are not able to provide Ads as an alternative to a Premium subscription.

The 'Premium', 'Premium Family' and 'Premium Hero' subscriptions all give full access to all features without Ads.

• Premium: Full access.
• Premium Family: Full access. Includes Apple Family sharing which allows you to share the subscription with family members.
• Premium Hero: Full access. Includes Apple Family sharing which allows you to share the subscription with family members. If you want to give us extra support (requested by quite many users) you can do that by getting the Premium Hero subscription.

Fantasy Hike allows the user to watch 'rewarded ads' to increase their daily walking distance.

These ads are optional and provide an alternative way to increase your daily walking distance without a Premium subscription.

When you have successfully completed an ad, Fantasy Hike will confirm that the additional distance has been awarded.

If you do not see this confirmation, the ad may have been closed before it was completed. Some ads require you to wait for a close button to appear or to close more than one screen before the reward is granted.

Tap the information button on the ad. From there, you may be able to report the ad directly to the ad provider.

You can also contact our support about the ad. Please include any ad ID or other identifying information shown on the ad's information page. Without this information, we may not be able to identify the specific ad.

Ads may not be available in certain regions due to local regulations or restrictions imposed by the ad networks that we use.

You can find our Privacy Policy here.

No. Fantasy Hike does not store your location.

The app may request location permission in order to enable background functionality. Fantasy Hike does not record or store location coordinates or location history.

You can block a user that keeps sending you friend requests. When you have an unwanted friend request instead of choosing Accept/Ignore you can block the user here:

  Health App -> Browse Tab -> Activity -> Walking + Running Distance

We have only encountered this issue together with Garmin devices. If you have a Garmin device please read the ‘Will Fantasy Hike work with my Garmin device’ question for more details.

There can be many different reasons for this. One of the most likely causes is a problem with your payment details, such as an expired card or similar.

There are many pages on the web with good suggestions on how to fix this. For example this one. Of course you are also welcome to contact us if there is something we can assist you with.
