Along Dates
STEP BY STEP.
A few minutes of setup. Then it's just the two of you.
01
Choose your walk
Pick your city, your walk, and your question set here on along.hu: Light for first dates, Bond for couples who know each other, Deep for the real conversation.
Not sure which one? Start with Light, or try a short Spark first.
02
Create your Routon account and buy
The buy button takes you to Routon, the app that runs every Along walk. Register with your email, then complete your purchase.
Your walk has no expiry. Buy today, walk in three months. Nothing starts until you're standing at the start point.
03
Open the Routon app and find your walk
Download Routon on iOS or Android, or open it if you already have it. Sign in with the same account you used to buy, and your walk is waiting on the Events page.
Open your walk once on Wi-Fi before you leave. After that it runs fully offline: no mobile data, no roaming, no signal needed.
04
Go to the start point and press start
Every walk has a fixed start point. When you're there, press start in the app. That's when your 3-hour window opens, not when you bought it.
One purchase, one walk. Two couples walking separately each need their own.
05
Hunt the stops, in any order
The stops are scattered across the area. Walk towards any of them, and within 25 metres your phone buzzes. Open the notification, and the question is there. Skip any stop you like.
It works on Apple Watch too, so your phone can stay in your pocket. The GPS needs no internet.
06
Answer. Take your time.
Read the question together and stay as long as you want. There's no timer on answers. Grab a coffee, sit by the water, let the conversation go where it goes.
Each question opens once, so the walk keeps moving forward, like a real conversation. Most couples finish in 60–90 minutes.
07
Walk to the end point when you're ready
Tired, happy, or simply done? Head to the end point. Arriving there closes the walk.
You don't have to visit every stop. Whether you answered 5 questions or 25, the end point is how Along ends. Every walk has its own.
Your walk. Your pace. Your stops.
A fixed start, a fixed end, and everything in between is yours. As many stops as you like, in any order, at any speed. No minimum. No pressure.

End is your choice
Tired, happy, or simply done? Walk to the end point, and the walk closes when you arrive.

Routon delivers
Routon delivers
the walk.
Routon handles the GPS, so all you have to do is walk and talk.
Good to know.
The small print, without the small print.
Buy today. Walk whenever.
Your purchase never expires. The time window only opens when you press start at the start point.
Once it starts, it runs.
The time window runs continuously, so pick a relaxed day. Slow down as much as you like. Most couples finish in 60–90 minutes.
One walk, one go.
Each walk is single use. Walking separately? Each of you needs your own.
It stays between you two.
You answer out loud, to each other. Nothing is typed, shared, or posted.
Every walk, all year round.
1/5
Spring blossoms, summer evenings, autumn leaves, crisp winter air. The questions work in every season.
Questions.
Do we have to visit every GPS stop?
No. There’s no minimum. Visit as many as you like within your 3-hour window. When you’re done — whether that’s after 5 stops or 55 — head to the end coordinate. Arriving there closes the walk.
Where do we start and where do we finish?
Every Along walk has a fixed start coordinate and a fixed end coordinate. You must begin at the start point — this is where the walk activates and your 3-hour window begins. From there, everything is free. When you’re ready to finish, walk to the end coordinate. The walk closes the moment you arrive.
Do both of us need the app?
No. One phone is enough. One person navigates to each GPS stop and the question appears on screen. You answer it together.
What happens when we reach a GPS stop?
When you step within 25 metres of a stop, Routon sends a push notification to your phone — and your Apple Watch if you have one. Open the notification and the question appears in the app. You don’t need the screen on or the app open.
When does the timewindow start?
The moment you press start at the start coordinate — not when you purchased. You can buy the walk today and start it months later. The timer only begins when you choose to begin.
Can we take breaks during the walk?
Yes — grab a coffee, sit by the water, stay at a question as long as you want. The 3-hour window runs continuously from when you start, but you can move as slowly as you need within it.
Can we go back to a previous question?
No. Questions unlock once at each stop and can’t be revisited. The walk moves forward — just like a real conversation.
Does it work without internet?
Yes, fully. Load the walk on Wi-Fi before you leave. Routon runs completely offline after that — GPS works independently from internet. No data, no roaming, no problem.
What if we want to finish early?
Just head to the end coordinate whenever you’re ready. You don’t have to earn it by visiting a certain number of stops. Arriving at the end point is how the walk closes — full stop.
What if something goes wrong?
Reach us on Instagram DM, WhatsApp, or email. We’ll sort it. GPS issues are extremely rare — the system works offline so connectivity problems almost never affect it.
