Install or update

Download the APK on your Android phone and open it. Android may ask you to allow installation from your browser.
Update your existing installation. Do not uninstall or clear app data: doing so can lose your private progress and account access.
Read the first-use notice. Enable location only when you want location-based features.

Not distributed through Google Play yet. A genuine-device check is still required for shared gameplay; downloading the file does not guarantee that a device passes it.

Please test with care

For testers aged 18 and over. Bugs, incomplete adventures and data loss are possible. There are no server or private passport backups. Do not use ovayuva for emergencies, navigation or important records. Respect closures and private property.

Private passport visits, GPS history and story progress stay on your phone. Shared messages, object locations and limited account data are stored on our servers in Germany. Map providers receive your IP address and requested map areas. Do not publish personal or sensitive information.

Official stories and this website are AI-assisted and may contain errors. User contributions are labelled separately. Tester status does not remove your legal rights.

Try it, then tell us

Check the map, pan and pinch zoom, then recenter. Track a nearby story where available. Try English, German, Turkish or French in Settings > Profile. Your existing objects and private progress should remain intact after an update.
