Step Challenges & Fitbit Bingo with Friends
StepSmash turns your daily walking into a game you actually want to show up for. Challenge friends and family in step races and Fitbit-style bingo, with goals calibrated to your own activity so the competition stays fair no matter who's playing.
Three ways to compete
Chase a bingo pattern, keep a daily streak going, or go step for step in a friendly race.
Smash Bingo
Smash Bingo picks up where Fitbit Bingo left off: your daily activity becomes a group challenge. Everyone races to complete a shared pattern, but each board is unique. Your tile goals come from your recent steps, distance, and active minutes, so anyone can play and compete fairly.
Hit a step goal, flip the tile, and move closer to Bingo. Power ups can drop when you flip a tile that isn't part of the pattern, giving you small boosts like Free Flip, Half Cost, or Tile Swap. The first to finish the pattern wins.
Daily BingoStepSmash+
Daily Bingo gives StepSmash+ members a fresh board every day. Tile goals are scaled to your recent steps, distance, and active minutes, so the difficulty grows with your fitness instead of breaking your kneecaps.
Complete five boards in a week and your weekly streak ticks up. It's the kind of small daily ritual that turns a walk into a habit you actually look forward to.
- A new Daily Bingo board every day
- Goals are based on your recent activity, just like Smash Bingo
- Complete your board 5 days each week to keep your streak
Step Races: Walking Competitions with Friends
Step Races are friendly walking competitions built around your everyday movement. Choose a Weekend Warrior sprint (Sat-Sun) or a Workweek Hustle race (Mon-Fri) and challenge friends and family to see who can log the most steps. Once the game starts, your steps sync automatically and standings update in real time.
No complicated rules or scoring. Just walk, run, or move however you like and climb the leaderboard.
- Weekend Warrior (Sat-Sun) and Workweek Hustle (Mon-Fri) step challenges
- Live leaderboard shows your current ranking

Common questions about StepSmash
Do I need a Fitbit to use StepSmash?
No. StepSmash works with nearly any fitness tracker or smartwatch. On iOS, we connect through Apple Health, and on Android through Health Connect. This means devices like Apple Watch, Oura, Whoop, Amazfit, Polar, and many others work out of the box. We also offer direct integrations with Fitbit, Garmin Connect, and Samsung Health. Friends with different trackers can all compete in the same step challenge. For more information, see the supported devices and platforms page.
Is StepSmash free?
Yes. Weekend Warrior and Workweek Hustle step races, badges, and in-game chat are free, and you can join Smash Bingo when someone invites you. StepSmash+ ($19.99/year or $1.99/month, 1 week trial) includes creating Smash Bingo games, Daily Bingo, Bingo Blitz, and FitBark for dogs.
Do my friends need StepSmash+ to play with me?
No. Only the person creating a Smash Bingo game needs StepSmash+. Anyone you invite can join for free, get their own board with goals scaled to them, and play through to the end.
What is Fitbit Bingo, and how does StepSmash compare to Fitbit challenges?
Fitbit Bingo was a social bingo-style challenge Fitbit offered before it scaled back many social experiences. Smash Bingo is StepSmash's version: a shared pattern with tile goals based on your recent activity, plus power-ups, badges, and in-game chat. StepSmash also brings back step race styles like Weekend Warrior and Workweek Hustle, with support for Apple Health, Health Connect, Fitbit, Garmin, Samsung Health, and more, so friends with different trackers can play together. StepSmash+ adds Daily Bingo with weekly streaks, public Bingo Blitz events, bringing the dog along through FitBark.
