Turn your gym cardio into a dungeon run. Dungeons and Heartbeats is a pixel-art fitness RPG where your live heart rate controls the action.
Play on your iPhone with an Apple Watch or a compatible Bluetooth heart rate strap. An iPhone alone cannot play.
YOUR NEXT WORKOUT IS A QUEST
Get on a treadmill, stationary bike or rower. Follow the game's heart-rate target and your hero battles through the dungeon. Stay in range to land hits and build your combo. Combat runs without tapping, so you can focus on your workout.
Already have a gym routine? Give your warm-up, cardio session or post-lifting workout a quest of its own.
THREE WAYS TO TRAIN
• Guardian: steady-state cardio with a sustained target.
• Crusader: a progressive climb in effort, followed by an easier finish.
• Berserker: intervals that alternate harder efforts with recovery.
Choose 10, 15, 20, 30 or 45 minutes: 15 trials across three hero paths. Set your intensity before each run with Easy, Moderate, Hard or Peak. Targets adapt to your selected intensity and heart-rate profile.
MAKE YOUR ROUTINE WORTH REPLAYING
Earn XP, level your heroes and work toward Mythic ranks. Your best trial ranks stay earned, even after a tougher day.
Visit Your Kingdom to see your levels, workout history and streak. Earn streak freezes as you keep showing up. If you finish a session early, the XP and training minutes you earned still count.
APPLE WATCH CONNECTED
Your Apple Watch supplies live heart rate while the dungeon plays on your iPhone. Open the companion app on your wrist to connect. Completed workouts save to Apple Health.
Prefer a chest strap or armband? Compatible Bluetooth sensors using the standard Heart Rate Profile also work. Choose your sensor once and the app remembers it for future connections.
On iPad, use a compatible Bluetooth heart rate sensor. Apple Watch cannot pair with iPad.

BEFORE YOU START
For fitness and entertainment, not medical advice or a medical device. Heart-rate targets are estimates. Exercise within your abilities and consult your healthcare provider if you have a heart condition or medical concerns.
