Once you hit the daily cap, extra steps won't add more points. However, you can earn additional bonus points from several sources — each with its own rules and caps.
Points Sources Overview
| Source | Max Points |
|---|---|
| Daily Steps | 300 pts/day |
| Daily Boost | 50+ pts/activation |
| Go Outside Boost (Park Check-in) | up to 100 pts/day |
| Adventure Challenge | up to 200 pts/week |
Note: The 200-point cap applies to Adventure Challenges only. Park Check-in and Daily Boost points are counted separately and are not subject to this cap.
For highly active users, the theoretical daily maximum is 650+ points when all sources are combined.

Example: How Points Add Up
Here's a real example of how a top-ranked user scored 911 points over 2 days:
| Date | Steps | Daily Boost | Adventure | Park Check-in | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 8 | 300 pts | 57 pts | 20 pts | 0 pts | 377 pts |
| Aug 9 | 300 pts | 54 pts | 180 pts | 0 pts | 534 pts |
| Total | 911 pts |
This shows how combining all point sources — steps, Daily Boost, and Adventure — can result in significantly higher scores than steps alone.
