How do I join an activity physically?

You can join and play the physical game on a desktop or laptop (PC or Mac).  COMING SOON! Watch for the mobile version of the game to become available to play.  Check out our website for more information: www.SmashYourFitness.com

The first time you get into the game, you will need to set your Move Method, Control Methods, & Bio Monitors, and pair your devices:

  • In the Pairing Wizard screen the first time, select and pair your Move Method (either a Smashometer or Other Devices) and click on the Remember & Skip link if you want to play the game the same way and also bypass the wizard the next time you enter the game.  You can always reset these choices if you go to the Home Screen, hover over the Move, Monitor, Control section in the bottom left, and click on the Forget button.
  • Click Next and in the Control Methods, select as many control methods as you want. Select Keyboard to use your keyboard or keyboard-mimicking device (e.g., game controller).  Optionally, you can also select Automatic to toggle toggle on/off Autopilot (default = On) and Auto Shift (default = On).  Auto Braking (default = Moderate) has three settings from which to choose: Off, Moderate, and Aggressive. Finally, if you would like to download and use our Companion App (CoApp) on your smartphone (or tablet) to help control your in-game experience, select Smartphone. Click Remember & Skip again if you want the same settings for next time.
  • Click Next and under Bio Monitors select heartrate if you want to pair your heartrate monitor (optional, but provides better feedback for physical fitness). Click on Remember & Skip after each step to bypass the wizard the next time & remember your settings.  

To join an activity after you have paired your device(s):

  • On the Home Screen, click on Play Now and choose an activity type from Events (scheduled), Rides, Workouts, Smash Cups, or Time Trials.
  • Click Join on an Activity Tile.
  • From the loading page (Info screen), click Join Ride to enter the activity.
  • If devices are paired, you'll enter the activity directly.
  • If not paired, the Pairing screen opens.
  • Select the devices you want to Pair and click Join Ride.
  • The game is in continuous scanning mode and will automatically pair up to four types of devices, including Bluetooth.
