🎯 The Vision

When the team behind MyFitQuests approached us, they came with a bold mission:

“Fitness should feel like an adventure, not a chore.”

They envisioned an interactive platform that motivates users by turning their real-life fitness activities into epic virtual quests. But to bring this gamified experience to life, they needed a seamless way to sync live fitness data and display it in an engaging, visual format.

That’s where the team at weplugins stepped in.

🧩 The Challenge

MyFitQuests needed more than just a membership or activity tracker. They wanted a visually engaging quest system with milestones on a real-world map, Integration with Strava, the world’s leading fitness tracking app with real-time activity syncing, allowing users to track progress on Google Maps.

They also want custom map markers with user avatars and Street View snapshots. A social sharing component to let users celebrate milestones, all while keeping the experience smooth, motivational, and fun.

🔧 Our Solution

To bring this vision to life, our development team at WePlugins engineered a powerful integration between Strava’s API and the Advanced Google Maps Plugin for WordPress.

Here’s what we delivered:

✅ Quest Enrollment System – Users can join fitness “quests” after becoming a member.

✅ Strava & Google Maps Integration – Once users start logging their physical activities (walks, runs, cycling, etc.) in Strava App, their progress gets reflected automatically on the google maps generated by our plugin. We built a custom solution to display every participating user’s profile picture as a marker along the quest route.

✅ Live Milestone Unlocking – As users log more activities, they automatically unlock milestones along the route, staying motivated at every stage.

✅ Smooth User Avatar Animation – We implemented smooth animated movement of marker avatars along the quest path to visually showcase user’s progress & make the user experience highly immersive.

✅ Street View Capture – Upon reaching a milestone, users are congratulated by the system and can take a screenshot in Google Street View of their avatar, which they can share proudly on social media.
