Woke up to seeing @PlayMonsterWalk in the top charts! 🌟
For the first time in Talofa history, we entered the Top 5 Free Adventure category. It's unreal seeing us next to games like Pokémon GO!!
We've seen tens of thousands of players playing every single day, changing lives!
This is a first for us: Top of the front page of @GooglePlay 🤯
In less than 2 weeks since opening up to the US and Europe, we've already seen 1 billion steps taken by players on Android and iOS in @PlayMonsterWalk!
Beyond grateful for this moment with the @TalofaGames team
We launched @PlayMonsterWalk in the US and Europe! This week has been a nonstop sprint - I did a 1:25 half-marathon PR on Sunday (6:32 min/mile)!
In just 8 hours, players took 30 million steps and collected 15,000 monsters — beating early access in a single day.
Proud to see Run Legends, @TalofaGames first fitness game, featured by @GooglePlay for the Sydney Marathon — a race on my bucket list!
After a week of daily runs through Cologne during devcom + gamescom, I felt firsthand how powerful it is to have fitness games to play.
2/2🧵Meeting the Porter team and @cindywangders at the start with prizes on the line gave me the push I needed to negative split.
Running a surprise marathon reinforced how powerful gamified movement can be — pre-reg and pre-order @PlayMonsterWalk now! https://t.co/uc2PzVnTSK
Proud to see @TalofaGames featured by @GooglePlay in their #WeArePlay global campaign for developers making a positive impact!
Over 7 million steps have been taken in the @PlayMonsterWalk, already 7x more than last week!
1 million steps taken already.
Blown away by the steps, coverage, and now a @GooglePlay feature for @PlayMonsterWalk!
I'll be at #Gamescom2025 for the first time! DM me if you’ll be there and want an early preview of what's next, or to join me for a walk and some steps!
🧵 1/5 I thought the only way to stay motivated was to train harder. I was wrong.
As a sub-3-hour marathoner, I know how tough motivation can be. While building @PlayMonsterWalk, I discovered something magical: reconnecting with drive in a way that’s light, and sustainable.
1/ Ran 28 miles for my 28th birthday—my longest run ever—because startups don’t stop running. 💥
Here’s a quick update on @TalofaGames, what we did at #paxeast2025, and a sneak peek for what’s next 🧵 #founderjourney
1/3🏃Ran my first #BostonMarathon this week—3:02 on the hilly course after aiming for sub-3:00. Not perfect, but I’m darn proud. What made it even more special? I ran it with my mom. A dream since my MIT days, and something I’ll never forget. ❤️
It's the last day of GDC and got a surprise at 5 am that @TalofaGames 's story and @PlayRunLegends is being featured on the @AppStore! It's been a nonstop week with the highlights being hosting a 6 am GDC run Tuesday and giving a talk on getting funding the same day.
#gdc2025
I'm doing my very first official GDC talk this year 💪!
In case you didn't want to join my 6 am GDC run event on Tuesday (or come to both 👁), I have a 3 pm talk that day with Justin and Grayson about funding and sharing hot takes (?) and tips and tricks from our experience!
Found out about @GooglePlay featuring @TalofaGames and @PlayRunLegends this month for Women’s History Month because our DAU spiked 10x 🤯!
Huge shoutout and thank you to Google for the support here and drive to elevate new voices in gaming 🙏
Want to train for the Boston marathon together at GDC at 6 am? 🌉
I'm honored to co-host alongside the #gamesindustryrunners for this year's morning run event with wonderful cohosts!

Two life updates!
1. I'm training for the Boston Marathon in April, with a target time of ~3 hours.
