Sofie Scout turns a real fundraiser into a pixel runner

Sofie Scout: Road to Poland is one of the most wholesome mobile stories of the day. Two 13-year-old Scouts from York built a pixel runner to help raise money for their trip to the 2027 World Scout Jamboree in Poland. The game sends Sofie sprinting across European cities after missing the Jamboree bus, turning fundraising into a proper mobile release instead of another bake sale. Every purchase helps chip away at the target, and the game is out now on iOS and Android.

It is scrappy, personal and exactly the kind of indie mobile story worth highlighting.
