Because projects funded by Jack Dorsey have a track record of going to shit

 

I've been on the lookout for gamified pedometers. Something like a Tamagotchi that grows up as you get steps in. Saw some old examples of this in Japan, but nothing in the US market yet. Any recommendations that aren't an app and don't need the internet?
