How to Play Walking Games on Cadoo
Play Walking Games on Cadoo and Earn Money
On Cadoo, walking counts through step games. Join a game, carry your phone, hit your step goal, and get paid. Here is everything you need to know.
How Walking Games Work
Cadoo reads your daily steps from your phone's health app: Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android. When you join a game, you commit to a step goal. Examples include: 5,000 steps a day, or 100,000 steps over a game. Hit your target and you earn a payout from the prize pool.
What Counts Today
Steps only. Cadoo doesn't read walk distance, routes, or hikes as workouts today, so walking games are step games. Watches and apps count when they write steps to Apple Health or Health Connect; Fitbit steps count through Health Connect on Android. Cadoo does not connect to Garmin, Polar, Suunto, Training Peaks, Wahoo, or other trackers directly today. A direct Garmin Connect integration is coming next.
Step-by-Step: Join a Walking Game
- Open Cadoo and browse step games on the home screen.
- Tap a game to see the goal, entry amount, and payout details.
- Allow Cadoo to read steps from Apple Health or Health Connect the first time.
- Tap "Join Game" and add your entry.
- Walk as usual with your phone. Your steps count automatically.
Tips for Walking Games
Keep your phone with you, or wear a watch that writes steps to your health app. Walking games are great for beginners and anyone recovering from injury. Low impact, high reward.

What trackers work for walking games?
Any phone or watch that writes steps to Apple Health (iPhone) or Health Connect (Android). Fitbit works through Health Connect on Android. Cadoo does not connect to trackers directly today. A direct Garmin Connect integration is coming next.
Do I need to start a special workout mode?
No. Step games read your daily step total, so you don't need to start a workout.
How fast do steps sync?
