// What is WAGE

An engine, not a game.

WAGE turns the physical world into a refereed arena. Your phone streams location; the server holds the truth and calls every tag, capture, and elimination. Each game is pure data — so the catalog only grows.

Server-authoritative

The engine ticks once a second, evaluates the rules against live positions, and decides. No disputes, no “I was totally outside the zone.”

Your backyard is the map

A park, a campus, a neighborhood — drop a zone anywhere and it becomes the board. Wide-area play measured in real meters.

Games are data

Teams, zones, and rules live in a ruleset, not in code. Every game on this page is the same engine reading different data.

// Operations

Three steps to the field.

Pick a game

Choose from the catalog and spin up a session from the GM console. The engine loads the ruleset and opens a join code.

Share the code

Players enter the short code on their phones and drop onto the live map. Teams and roles are assigned automatically.

Go outside

Run. The server watches every position at 1 Hz, fires the rules, and pushes events the instant they happen.

// Catalog · 11 live

Load a ruleset.

Every title runs on the same engine. Pick your chaos.

Tag

One player is It, everyone else runs. The chase never stops.

Zombie

One starts infected. Every tag grows the horde. Last human wins.

Capture the Flag

4+ · 2 teams

Steal the enemy flag and race it home. Tagged carrying it? You drop it.

Sardines

Hide from the seeker. Once found, you join the hunt. Last hider wins.

Assassin

You have a target — and you are one. Close the distance, survive the chain.

Freeze Tag

Tagged players freeze until a teammate reaches them and thaws them out.

Bomb Tag

The bomb is hot. Pass it before the timer hits zero or you're out.

King of the Hill

Hold the hill alone — a point per second. First to 30 wins.

Pirate's Booty

4+ · 2 teams

Two crews raid Treasure Island and ferry chests home. Most loot at 15:00 wins.

Sharks & Minnows

Minnows sprint shore to shore while sharks patrol the middle.

Bots vs Humans

1+ & bots

Outlast the engine-spawned bots hunting you across the arena.

// Why play

More than a game.

Real movement, real strategy, real people — outdoors, on a field the size of your campus.

Made for parks & campuses

A campus quad, a city park, a neighborhood block — WAGE thrives on wide-open space. The bigger the field, the deeper the strategy.

Loot, gear & powerups

Grab items mid-match, trigger a cloaking device to vanish from the map, or save a powerup for the perfect moment. Get caught? The app navigates you to jail.

A workout in disguise

Sprinting, hiding, flanking, dashing for the flag — it's miles on your feet and fresh air in your lungs. You'll forget you're exercising.

Better with people

Rally your dorm, your team, your whole family. WAGE gets everyone off the couch and into the same real-world adventure — face to face.
