Smash Bingo: Inspired by Fitbit Bingo
Smash Bingo is a bingo game inspired by Fitbit Bingo that turns your daily activity into 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.

Your steps sync automatically from your fitness tracker, and a live leaderboard shows everyone's progress in real time.
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.

What is Fitbit Bingo?
Inspired by Fitbit Bingo, Smash Bingo is StepSmash's take on the classic. Each player gets a bingo board with personalized activity goals like steps, distance, and active minutes. Everyone races to complete a shared pattern, but because tile goals are based on your recent activity, the competition stays fair no matter your fitness level. Power-ups like Free Flip, Half Cost, and Tile Swap add a strategic twist.
How does StepSmash compare to Fitbit challenges?
StepSmash was built to bring back the social fitness challenges that Fitbit retired, including Weekend Warrior, Workweek Hustle, and Get Fit Bingo. We've kept the competitive spirit but expanded support to work with Apple Health, Garmin, Samsung Health, and more. We've also added features Fitbit never had, like Smash Bingo power-ups, collectible badges, and in-game chat.
Can I start a walking challenge with coworkers?
Absolutely. StepSmash makes it easy to create group step challenges for your workplace, friend group, or family. Send a one-tap invite and everyone can join, even if they use different fitness trackers. Workweek Hustle races are especially popular for office walking challenges.
