Claim the Earth
Stand on a piece of Earth, tap once, keep it forever
The planet, divided into 1.66 trillion hexagons (~307 m² each). Stand on one, tap, and it's yours permanently. The first person there keeps it forever. Attach a photo of the exact ground you claimed; a daily feed shows everyone 10 random ones. 180,000+ hexes claimed across 98 countries in under two weeks, including one man who walked 20 km and claimed 1,566 in a day. Free, browser-only, no install. Built in a few days as a side project. Now it's a race to a million.
Hi Product Hunt. I built Claim the Earth in about a few days as a fun game for me and a few friends. It then went unexpectedly viral on TikTok, so now I'm here.
The mechanic: I've divided the entire planet into 1.66 trillion hexagons, each ~307 m². To claim one you have to physically stand on it and tap. People walk absurd distances for it. Yesterday's record was 1,566 hexes by a man in the Netherlands who walked 20 km tapping his phone roughly every 20 metres. When I launched, I predicted a record a tenth of that size would stand for a month.
You can attach a photo of the exact ground you claimed. There are 17,000+ so far, and a new daily feed shows everyone 10 random ones; farms, car parks, someone's street at midnight. Nobody sees the same 10. It has accidentally become an atlas of completely ordinary places.
It's free to play. 180,000+ hexes across 98 countries in under two weeks. Current goal is a million claims by the end of August, which is clearly impossible, but so was everything else. Happy to answer anything, and genuinely interested in any ideas that would make this better, since my own predictions about this game have a poor track record.
