Breakawayd turns every ride and run into a battle for map squares. Challenge a friend, claim your streets, and defend your territory — all powered by Strava.
Sign in with your Strava account and Breakawayd automatically imports your activity history. Every GPS-tracked ride, run, or walk is converted into map squares using the Squadrats z14 tile grid — the same grid used by the global Squadrats community. No manual upload needed; new activities sync automatically via the Strava API.
Create a matchup from your dashboard and share the invite link with a friend. They connect their own Strava account and join instantly — no extra signup, no app download. Both players' squares are loaded and the territory battle begins immediately. Challenge your cycling buddy, running partner, or anyone who uses Strava.
View your matchup on an interactive map showing blue (you) vs red (rival) territory. Every ride and run updates your squares in real time. Ride more to strengthen your claims and steal your rival's squares. But be careful — stop riding and your territory fades through time decay, giving your opponent the chance to take over.
Ownership isn't permanent — it's earned through consistency. Here's how scoring works.
The first rider to pass through a square earns a +10 point bonus. This rewards exploration and gives an early advantage to those who ride new routes.
Every additional ride through a square adds +5 points to your claim. Repeated rides on the same routes compound your ownership, making it harder for rivals to steal your core territory.
Scores decay over a 90-day window. If you stop riding through a square, your score gradually drops to 10% of its original value. This prevents permanent lock-in and keeps matchups dynamic.
When both riders have visited the same square and their scores are within 20% of each other, the square becomes contested. Neither player owns it. The only way to tip the balance is consistent riding — one big ride won't be enough to claim a heavily contested square.
When your rival's score decays below yours on a shared square, you steal it. Steals are tracked per matchup — you can see how many squares each player has taken in the matchup stats panel. Momentum shows who's been stealing more over the last 7 days, so you can tell who's on the attack and who's losing ground.
Breakawayd is a free web app that turns your Strava rides and runs into 1v1 territory battles. You and a friend compete for ownership of map squares based on your real-world activities. Every ride strengthens your claims, but stop riding and your territory fades through time decay.
You earn +10 points for being the first to ride through a square (First Blood) and +5 points for every additional ride. Your score decays over 90 days if you stop riding, dropping to 10% of the original value. When both players' scores are within 20% on a square, it becomes contested.
When both riders' scores are within 20% of each other on a shared square, it becomes contested. Neither player owns it until one pulls ahead through consistent riding. Contested squares appear as amber/yellow on the matchup map.
