Locktober - Step By Step Rules
How the hidden version swap works
What Is Locktober?
The Locktober is one of the fastest-rising games of the moment. Locktober is the October challenge that accidentally collided with itself. The gym version says "put the junk food down, hit the iron, stop making excuses". The original version says "hand over the control, embrace restraint". Two completely different meanings landed on the same word the same month. Our game is a 30-day check-in simulator: every day unlocks a task that is secretly either the gym version or the original, and you never know which until you tap it.
