Baby Simba

INTEGRITY & CALIBRATION

How Care Points Are Earned

Care Points are a calibrated fitness game metric, distinct from raw step counts. Here is how your daily movement feeds Simba.

SCENARIO A • PURE WALKING

Steps-Only Routine

If your day consists purely of walking, running, or stair climbing, 1 measured walking step yields exactly 1 Care Point.

12,000 steps (Days 1–40); 18,000 steps (Day 41+) = 12,000 CP
SCENARIO B • WORKOUTS + STEPS

Cross-Training Routine

Cycling, rowing, strength training, or swimming don't record steps. They contribute at 20 Care Points per active calorie.

7,000 steps + 250 kcal intense interval workout (250 × 20 = 5,000 CP)
🛡️
Metric Integrity Guarantee: Zero Double-Counting
If you record a walking workout on Apple Watch or Garmin, the steps taken during that walk are credited once. They are never credited again as workout calories.

The Lion 40 Trophy

👑 Important Rule: The Lion 40 Trophy

The Lion 40 trophy is an owner-specific honor. It requires the same owner to complete 40 consecutive finalized days at the lion's full 12,000 Care Point challenge goal.

Conflation Guard: The lion's biological pet age and the owner's Lion 40 trophy progress are strictly separate. If a lion is handed over to a friend, the pet retains its finalized survival days, but the owner trophy does not transfer.
