Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre Launches Citymoov App With Over 600 Participants To Promote Active Living

Over 600 people gathered at Yas Mall to celebrate the introduction of Citymoov, a new mobile application from the Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre (ADPHC). This app aims to make healthy living enjoyable by turning daily activities into interactive digital scavenger hunts, called quests. During the launch, participants engaged in one of the first Master Quests, racing to solve clues and complete challenges throughout Yas Mall.

The event also launched two competitions to keep residents active and involved. The Creator Mode Competition invites users to design their own quests using the app’s features and share them with others. The three most-played quests by Friday, 5 December will win prizes from a pool valued at AED 50,000. This encourages creativity and community participation.

In addition, the Master Quest Competition allows players to test their skills across five quests set in iconic Abu Dhabi locations like the Louvre Abu Dhabi and Yas Marina Circuit. Each month, the top five fastest participants completing all five Master Quests will receive a high-end fitness watch, adding a competitive element to the experience.

Dr. Rashed Al Suwaidi, Director General of ADPHC, highlighted Citymoov’s impact on promoting active lifestyles: "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." His words underline how Citymoov transforms exercise into an engaging activity.

Participants who completed the quest in under 25 minutes received prizes and giveaways. The fastest competitor was rewarded with a premium fitness hamper that included an Apple Watch and headphones. These incentives motivate users to engage with the app actively.

Fostering Community Through Technology

Citymoov exemplifies Abu Dhabi’s dedication to fostering a healthier community by merging technology with physical activity and play. The app not only promotes movement but also strengthens social bonds by encouraging families, friends, and colleagues to connect through shared healthy experiences.

This innovative approach ensures that staying active is not just beneficial but also fun and accessible for everyone in Abu Dhabi. By transforming public spaces into playgrounds for exploration and interaction, Citymoov makes healthful living an exciting part of everyday life.
