"We were looking for a digital solution for our events to make people's lives easier and gain insights about our hikers. We got that plus more and the hikers are loving it"
The Goals
Keep hikers up to date on news, their progress, and offer a forum to collaborate
Provide participants with a digital hiking pass to reduce lost passes
Enrich MegaMarsch with more engagement and community capabilities
A Community App for a passionate community
MegaMarsch is a thriving physical community and they host marathon style hikes mostly throughout Germany. The unique thing we noticed and realized about MegaMarsch hikers was how passionate and dedicated they were to the hobby/sport.
Unyfy felt like a perfect fit with MegaMarsch as they were seeking a new digital app that their hikers can call home. They decided to take advantage of Unyfy in 3 core ways:
- Use the feed to give hikers event reviews, route guides, and general event information.
- Use “groups” to allow hikers to create or join existing forums around different events
- Utilized NFTs to create a “Hiking Pass” and “stamps”
- Keep hikers up to date on news, their progress, and offer a forum to collaborate
A hiking pass that does more
New users on the MegaMarsch app automatically obtain a digital hiking pass. When they attend a hike, they can collect “stamps” by scanning QR codes at various locations.
When scanning said QR codes, the stamps appear directly in their hiking pass (wallet).
A secondary benefit of these stamps was that hikers complained of inclement weather deteriorating their original physical passes.
This has helped reduce lost hiking passes by X%, and has received overwhelming positive feedback from hikers.

Meet new hikers, show your achivements
Using forums for events in different cities has been a great way for attendees to collaborate, meet new hikers, and spark new interest leading up to events. This has consequently increased app usage as hikers now have a centralized place to share ideas.
Stamp collecting has also been a homerun as hikers can easily show off their achievements within the app – some of which are difficult to obtain!
