Victa is a cutting-edge running app that combines an engaging gamification and series with a comprehensive tracker to help users achieve their fitness goals. You'll never get bored running with Victa!
Hi Product Hunt! 🤙
I’m Alex, the founder and CEO at Victa. We’re thrilled to be launching here today and grateful to have this opportunity to share it with you 🥰
To celebrate our launch, we’re offering a unique Rainbow Unicorn Victa skin for everyone who signs up within the next 24 hours! 🎁
Victa is not a typical running app. We’re combining the thrill of gamification with the benefits of fitness to create a sticky experience for our users maintaining them to their results and better health condition.
Here are some of our features:
💪 Avatar: The Avatars are characters from the different universe with whom you become connected, and their progress and levels reflect the client's current energy and endurance. Levels are increased when the client runs a certain distance. For now, only Atreus is available, but soon there will also be Ellie, Delphine, and Faust.
⌚️ Tracker: Click “Start” and see the classic running app metrics: time, distance, pace, kcal, etc. Remember: all energy you spend, your Avatar receives and charges. Why? Find out through their story. It’s time for a run!
🗡 Artifacts: Make your run a little more purposeful, look for epic artifacts and collect them, running nearby! Choose your running route keeping them in mind and discover lots of new places!
🎮 Gamification: After finishing, observe your tracked results and check your completed quests, unlocked achievements, and collected artifacts. You’ve leveled up? Great, a new chapter of the story is waiting for you!
🤺 Inventory: Time to show off! Use your new findings, change Avatar’s and Victa’s appearances, create your unique style, be ready for the competition in all your glory!
📈 Analytics: Check your performance with comprehensive and profound data, monitor detailed graphs, hone your skills, become better, become healthier!
📺 Series: Open the story of the brand new universe, where your Avatar is from. Each new chapter is unlocked by overcoming a certain distance and leveling up. Help your Avatar, participate in mind-blowing plot twists, be first to learn the end of the epic story, and help your Avatar win!
💡 Our app features a step counter widget for iPhone to help users get started easier. We also have a special secret mode for those who want to run with friends, we call it “Resonance” ⚡️
We have great plans of becoming the one-stop-shop for all health-related user activities from fitness to sleep. Just give us some time 😎
We are constantly improving and updating Victa based on users’ feedback, and we have some new exciting features in work. For example, leaderboards for professional sprinters or stayers who want to see themselves in the list of top runners in the area, and daily and weekly challenges that reward consistent activity [and much more, that we will describe in future releases].
We’re passionate about creating a fitness app that is both fun and effective. Our team has worked hard to develop a product that we believe can make a real difference in people’s lives.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about Victa. We hope you’ll join us on our fitness adventure!
And huge thanks to @chrismessina for hunting us!
P.S. Oh, almost forgot, check out our charming telegram stickers! 🔥

@alexey_yar, thank you, Alexey !
I can say that we are planning to implement leaderboards in the near future. We also want to implement different leagues in leaderboards and transition from one league to another. There are a lot of plans, stay with us )
@alexey_yar Thanks for the love! We're glad you like our idea. As for the leaderboard, we're considering it... but we don't want any hurt feelings when we dominate 😉 Keep playing and stay tuned!
Hi, Makers!
Congratulations on launching Victa on PH!
This sounds like an amazing app! I love the idea of combining gaming with running to make workouts more engaging. Can't wait to try Victa and achieve my fitness goals!
Can you tell us more about the gamification aspect? Excited to try it out! 😄👍
@ilyayaroshevichqa thank you!
Sure, we use gamification in a way which uses Duolingo in Edtech. The goal is to create a compulsion loop, compensate each training session with enough endorphin in the end to make users want to repeat it. Hence to maintain and retain them in a more effective way
Guys, congratulations on the launch, great job!
Just now downloaded the app, how beautiful it is, fell in love with the graphics.
Really looking forward to seeing more characters.
Winter will be over soon and I can fully experience the app in terms of motivation with the power of walking.
So far I can say that for me it is user-friendly. The only thing I would split the explanation windows into bullets, instead of text, to make it easier to understand.
Here's my link from the app:

@marynotj thank you for your detailed feedback!
Yes, we plan to release 3 more characters as soon as possible. And yes, onboarding needs some love too 😬
Hope our app will become a good support for you!
This sounds like the perfect mix of fitness and fun! 🎮🏃♂️ Love the idea of turning running into an adventure with avatars, artifacts, and quests—definitely makes staying active way more exciting. Can’t wait to see how Victa evolves! 🚀🔥
Big gamification fan here 👋
I absolutely love Victa!
Feel free to submit it on my gamification app repo https://GamifyList.com/
Best of luck with the launch!
Great app! One of a few apps that may force me to take my lazy ass off a chair, shut down my laptop, leave my startup business for a while, and go for a run 😍
One curious thing though. As you were using San Francisco in your example, I'm wondering how you plan to address the neighborhoods' safety down your route. If you are a hip startup founder running with a shiny new iPhone in your hand, you better not enter certain places in the city hunting fancy artifacts, unless you are ready to risk getting hunted by another fairytale creature IRL.
@nickneds ahaha, thank you! Yes, we surely will implement many safety related features. Lots of them are already in the backlog, starting from where artifacts will be allocated.
@trueslash Good luck with that! You can also work on creating special scenic routes for your runners — for example, here where I live in The Netherlands, Google Maps directs you through not really scenic places while there are always better routes for the same destination where you can run along the canal or a beautiful neighborhood with gingerbread houses. I think it will be great if you address that problem as well, and that's actually also a fantastic touchpoint for partnering with us as Localie platform 😉
The application is interesting, now there are a lot of gamification features, the stories themselves are very cool, but I thought for a long time how to manage them))
I want to see different types of training, when will this appear?
@new_user__0792023f24763d1bbe32cae, thank you!
We definitely will make the player for stories with a better UI! As for different training types: we consider making a treadmill support soon already and then will go to the gym 😎
Love the idea of combining gaming and fitness, but how about adding interactive challenges or leaderboards to compete against friends and other users?
It would make Victa even more addictive!
@new_user_33079b26449c8, @trueslash Hi, It's a very good idea to gamify running 🏃♂️ ))) To expand the audience, I recommend coming up with a quest for runners on a treadmill, there are many of them. I will wait for the Android versions )))
@liudmyla_tverdostup, thank you!
We strongly agree that we need to support all types of running including treadmill, so we already have it in the backlog 🙂
I don't really like to run)) but this is a very interesting combination of game and sport. It seems to me that for fans of running and games of this kind, it will be very interesting
