Talofa Games

Talofa Games is an independent mobile game developer and publisher specializing in fitness gaming and interactive wellness experiences. Founded in 2019, the Cupertino-based studio combines everyday physical activity with casual role-playing games, cooperative play and narrative progression. Its games encourage walking and running through accessible mobile experiences that do not require dedicated gym hardware or camera tracking.

The studio describes its approach as “games-for-good,” using familiar game mechanics to make movement rewarding. Its work spans real-time exercise-driven combat, passive step-based adventures and movement-powered narrative experiences. Across these formats, physical activity becomes part of how players advance, collect creatures and interact with other players.

Games built around movement

• Run Legends is a cooperative fitness RPG in which a player's real-world walking or running pace controls combat against enemies called Sappers. Its beta arrived in May 2023, followed by version 1.0 on January 3, 2024. The game was featured on the Apple App Store front page and in Apple's gaming showcase.
• Monster Walk: Step Adventure turns everyday steps into exploration and creature collection. Activity clears fog and advances the adventure through passive tracking rather than requiring a dedicated workout session. The game launched in October 2025, with a global rollout in October 2026. Players recorded more than one billion steps during its first two weeks of release.
• Pulse Match, released in 2026, combines movement with narrative romance and a fitness companion experience, extending the studio's activity-based design into another casual game format.

Talofa develops and publishes its original mobile titles for iOS and Android. Its capabilities include exergame engineering, mobile publishing, live operations and health-gamification technology.

The company is privately held and venture backed. It closed a seed financing round of approximately $6.3 million in late 2023, announced in January 2024, led by Chamaeleon with participation from a16z Games SPEEDRUN, Basis Set Ventures, Insight Partners, 1Up Ventures and angel investors.
