Do you know something that unlocks collectibles while you walk?

[oneinamelon91]

I'm really anxious and this leaded me to stop going outside alone. Now I'm trying to work on this and I usually use music when I go out to feel less anxious, but I think it would me cool if I could find something that gives me a reason to go out, since I don't feel the need to do it.

I love to collect stuff, I love tamagotchis/virtual pets, so I'm searching something easy to play and with collectibles to unlock while walking.
I'm aware there is a Flower-like virtual toy that is similar to what I'm searching, but Idon't like it and it costs too much for what I can afford.
I think an app would be ok too, but a device would work better for me.

Something that I really enjoy is collecting flower petals to make potpourri or seeds. There's an app you can get called PictureThis that lets you take a photo of a plant/flower and it'll give you a bunch of interesting information about it, including obviously what it's called. It lets you keep a list of stuff you've already scanned (and you can pay to unlock more 'storage' if you want to keep track of what you've already scanned). I also recently started picking flowers to make dried bouquets and things like that, which is also a good excuse to be outdoors! I know you said you like virtual stuff, but it's the first thing that comes to mind (besides exercise, running, walks, etc.) that could be a fun reason to go outside!

It a really cute idea! I know that app and I love it! I love plants and flowers and when I go out for a walk in company, I alwasy run like a kid everywhere scanning flowers and photos Unfortunately near my house (where I should walk alone) there aren't flowers/plants and the few that are there, are in front of houses so I don't feel particularly comfortable in doing it.
(Also I love collecting flowers and putting them in my journals after they are driedor put them in tiny bottles )

I tried it some time ago but deleted it immediately, so I don't know a lot either I'll check it again!

All I can think of are a couple apps. I have pokemon go and pikmin bloom. They're pretty good for doing something while walking but IMO they get a bit boring after a while so I don't use them anymore. They both have a collecting aspect and pokemon has battles if you're into that.

i second pikmin bloom!

i love taking daily walks, so getting mini rewards is just a bonus, as well as collecting new pikmin! <:

I love Pikmin Bloom so much more than Pokémon Go because it can be really passive. You can just walk around and feel accomplishment. Of course there are other things to do in the game, like being strategic about how you plant the flowers, etc., but at the heart of it is really just about walking. I feel like Pokémon was supposed to be about walking, but really it’s about collecting Pokémon and fighting other Pokémon at gyms, which is a lot more active and takes more time and I don’t know a lot about Pokémon so trying to learn about all of them and their skills and their strength and weaknesses is a little overwhelming for me. However, it does come with a little Pokéball wearable attachment you can use which is nice so you can get stuff and catch Pokémon automatically while walking if that’s what you’re looking for.
