Run with friends on one map
In RunBattle you add friends by name#tag: send a request, and they accept or decline. Accepted friends can message each other, and you can drop a zone into the chat as a card. Chat opens in the calendar year you turn 14, and a block from either side closes it.
How do I add a friend?
In Friends, search for their name#tag and send a request. It waits until they answer.
A request, not a follow
Friendship goes both ways. Nobody can message you or count you as a friend until you accept their request, and you can decline it.
What do friends do on the map?
Friends play on the same map as everyone else. If a friend takes the block near you, there is one way back: run the same contour faster.
Can I send a zone in chat?
Yes. Pick a zone and it lands in the chat as a card your friend can open on the map. One of the missions asks for exactly that, and it is offered only once your chat is open.
Who can message me?
Only accepted friends. A block from either side closes the chat. Before your first message, the app shows the community rules.
You can report a player from their profile or from the chat, for spam, an offensive name, cheating, harassment or something else, and block them in the same place.
What if I’m under 14?
The app is open from the calendar year you turn 13. You can run, take zones, add friends and open boxes; chat stays closed until the year you turn 14.
Your birth year can be changed once, and that change can’t open chat.
Can friends see where I live?
They can if your loop starts at home: a zone shows everyone the contour you ran, and your loop’s start lies on it. If you don’t want your home area on the map, start and finish away from it. Friends see the same replays as everyone else: everything within 300 m of your start and finish is cut, and the time of day is hidden.
Are there clans?
Not yet. Clans are expected in Q1 2027.
