How Patch packs work

Packs turn solo colouring-in into a small team sport. You still walk your dog. You just stop doing it in a vacuum.

What a pack is for

Accountability, gentle rivalry, and a reason to lace up when the weather is rude. Think group chat energy with a map.

What it is not

A requirement. Solo players still claim territory. Packs are optional social glue.

How to use one well

  • Keep it small enough that names mean something
  • Celebrate streaks and loops, not guilt trips
  • Walk together when you can; compare maps when you cannot
