Abu Dhabi Launches Citymoov: Making Fitness Fun Through Digital Adventures

Over 600 residents gathered at Yas Mall to celebrate the launch of Citymoov, an innovative mobile app from the Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre (ADPHC) that's transforming how people think about staying active.

This groundbreaking platform turns everyday movement into exciting adventures through interactive digital scavenger hunts called quests.

The launch event showcased one of the app's first Master Quests, with participants racing against the clock to solve clues and complete challenges throughout Yas Mall.

Those who completed the quest in under 25 minutes walked away with prizes and giveaways, while the speediest participant earned a premium fitness hamper complete with an Apple Watch and headphones.

More Than Just an App

Dr. Rashed Al Suwaidi, Director General of ADPHC, highlighted the app's broader vision: "Citymoov is more than an app—it's a movement.

By reimagining Abu Dhabi's public spaces as opportunities for exploration, play and connection, we are making healthy choices more enjoyable and within reach for everyone. With Citymoov, staying active becomes an adventurous journey, not a chore."

The philosophy behind Citymoov recognizes that traditional fitness approaches don't work for everyone. By gamifying physical activity, the app makes movement feel like play rather than work.

Two Exciting Competitions Launch

The event also introduced two competitions designed to keep residents engaged and moving:

Creator Mode CompetitionResidents can design their own custom quests using the app's Creator Mode feature, then share them with friends, family, and colleagues.

The three quests receiving the most plays by Friday, December 5 will win prizes from a substantial AED 50,000 prize pool. This competition encourages creativity while building community connections.

Master Quest Competition

Players can challenge themselves across five quests located in Abu Dhabi's most iconic destinations: the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Yas Marina Circuit, Yas Mall, Mamsha Beach, and Marsana Beach.

Each month, the five fastest participants to complete all five Master Quests will receive top-tier fitness watches, adding a competitive element that motivates continued participation.

Building Connected Communities

Citymoov reflects Abu Dhabi's commitment to creating a healthier, more connected community by seamlessly blending technology, play, and physical activity.

The app goes beyond simply encouraging movement—it fosters togetherness by inviting families, friends, and colleagues to connect and celebrate healthy living together.

This innovative approach addresses a common challenge: making fitness accessible and enjoyable for people with different interests, fitness levels, and schedules.

By turning Abu Dhabi's public spaces into interactive playgrounds, Citymoov creates opportunities for residents to discover their city while improving their health.

The app represents a shift toward community-centered wellness initiatives that recognize health as a shared journey rather than an individual struggle.

Through digital innovation and creative engagement, Abu Dhabi is setting a new standard for how cities can support their residents' wellbeing.
