YuMuuv vs A Step Ahead
A Step Ahead is a story-driven team walking game: synced steps move teams across a game board and exercise minutes help beat obstacles.
YuMuuv runs open-format challenges for steps, sports and habits, with daily targets and team leaderboards, from $2,400 a year for 25 users.
YuMuuv is a wellness challenge app for teams of any size. Run step, activity and habit challenges with daily targets, team leaderboards and challenge chat, synced from phones and popular wearables, in 40+ languages.
