How and Why?
What is Swarm?

How do I play Swarm?
• Want to meet up with friends? Just open Swarm to see who’s hanging out nearby.
• Every check-in will earn you coins. You’ll get more coins when you check in with friends, become the Mayor, extend streaks…and more!
• Finish near the top of your leaderboard to earn sweet prizes.
