The game is the ride
A motorcycle game app where the game is your real ride
Rippin' is not a racing game you play on your couch. It's a free motorcycle game app that runs on your actual rides: close a loop and claim the land inside as turf, collect poker cards at real stops, stack points and level up. It rewards miles, places and showing up. It never rewards speed.

The modes
How the Rippin' motorcycle game app works
You don't open a game and pick a level. You tap Record Ride, go ride, and the game happens in the background. When you stop, Ride Wrapped shows what you won.
- Turf WarsRide a loop that closes back on itself and the land inside becomes your turf. See Turf Wars.
- Poker runsRide to poker stops at shops, cafes, bars and dealerships. Each one deals you a card. See poker runs.
- SegmentsRoads riders added and a person checked. Ride through one and you're on its board. See segments and leaderboards.
- PointsEvery ride pays points for miles, segments, turf and poker hands. See points and rewards.
- Levels and badgesRider levels 1 to 25, plus badges and a passport stamp for every town you ride through. See levels and XP and passport and badges.
- Gear dropsSpend points on entries for real gear, with one free entry on every drop. See gear drops.
Turf Wars
Turf Wars: claim the roads you ride
Ride with your squad and the turf counts for the crew. You can see the whole map, yours and everyone else's, at live.rippin.app. The backstory is in Turf Wars, the motorcycle game.
- 1
Ride a loop
Plan a route that comes back to where it started. The loop builder helps.
- 2
Claim the land
When your loop closes, the land inside becomes your turf on the live map, with your name on it. Empty land is free to claim.
- 3
Carve a rival
Ride a tighter loop through someone else's turf to carve that piece out.
- 4
Lock your best ground
Spend points to lock turf so it can't be touched. Plus gets 25% off locks.
Poker and segments
Poker runs and segments, without the stopwatch mentality
Poker runs are the oldest motorcycle game there is, and Rippin' just removes the paper. Ride to a poker stop, and it deals you a card when you arrive. No QR codes. Hold five, swap the ones you don't want, and your hand posts to the poker leaderboard. How fast you got there has nothing to do with the hand. The full guide is the motorcycle poker run app page.
Segments are stretches of road a rider added and someone on the Rippin' team checked before they went live. Ride through one and you're timed automatically, then you're on its board, and a crown goes to the rider who owns it. We frame segments as boards and crowns on purpose. Rippin' does not reward speed on public roads, and a segment is never a reason to ride beyond the limit or your skill. Anyone can add a road through the community process.
The rules of the road
The rules we play by
A game on public roads only works if it never asks you to ride worse. Here's how Rippin' is built around that.
- No speed rewards. Points come from miles, segments, turf and poker hands, not from going fast.
- No tapping while you ride. The game runs in the background. You look at it when you stop.
- Turf rewards planning, not pace. A loop claims the same land whether you ride it fast or slow.
- Poker hands are luck and choices. Which stops, which cards you keep. Not your time.
- Ride legal. Speed limits, traffic laws and your own skill come before any board.
Multiplayer
Play it with your crew
The game gets better with friends. Squads share turf on the map, have their own squad leaderboards for miles, turf and rep by week and season, and can set up their own poker runs. Your rides post to the feed, your level-ups post too, and the rider who carved your favorite loop is going to hear about it in chat.
If you've ever chased a board on a bicycle app and wished motorcycles had something like it, read the Strava for motorcycles. Strava itself has no motorcycle segments.
Price
Is the motorcycle game free?
Yes, all of it. Turf Wars, poker runs, segments, squads, points on every ride and a free entry on every gear drop cost nothing, with no limit on how much you play. Rippin' Plus at $4.99 a month pays 1.5x points per ride, gives 25% off turf locks and adds auto-recording, but it doesn't unlock a single mode. The full free vs paid breakdown is on the best free motorcycle app page.
The map is nationwide. Turf is up for grabs anywhere you ride, whether that's the coast, the mountains or the wide-open desert in our Arizona guide.
