Turf

About

Turf is a real time strategy game that uses your phone’s GPS to turn the real world into a competitive map. You claim virtual zones by physically moving to them on foot, bike, or wheels. Stand in a zone for a few seconds to take ownership, which paints it green and gives you points. The map shows live player movements so you can track rivals or plan ambushes. Toggle invisibility to avoid conflicts but stay visible when capturing zones to let others know you’re active. The game blends local multiplayer and citywide challenges with simple mechanics that reward quick thinking. Launched in 2010, it runs on Android and iOS with support for solo, co-op, and massive online battles. Players appreciate the low barrier to entry and the way it repurposes real-world spaces for strategy. Its mix of casual play and competitive depth makes it a niche hit among location-based games.
