Beat the Street in Stockton
Keep fit and join the “Beat the Street” game
Beat the Street was a free, fun, walking and cycling game which got staff, pupils and their families out and
about in the local area, having fun and keeping healthy. Card readers called ‘Beat Boxes’ were
positioned around Stockton. Players used contactless game cards to hover over these Beat Boxes
scoring points which sat on individual and school leaderboards that were viewed online.
Ropner Park had its own Beat Box and the cafe was used as a distribution point for the cards.
The game went live on Tuesday 2nd March and has now ended.
The mayor of Stockton Councillor Kevin Faulks met with park dog walkers, cyclists and park users
in Ropner Park on 28th January for the launch of Beat the Street
The YouTube video explains how it works.
