SEA&WIN is an app-based mobile game created by the Seattle FIFA World Cup 2026™ Local Organizing Committee. It’s designed to help residents and visitors explore Washington’s arts, culture, neighborhoods, and small businesses—while earning prizes along the way.

The App launched on March 7^th at 11am and will be available through early July 2026. Players will be able to exchange points they earn within SEA&WIN for World Cup-related prizes.

How does the game work?SEA&WIN is an app-based mobile game that encourages players to visit cultural institutions, small businesses, public art, parks, and other locations of interest called “stops.” Groups of 10-20 stops make up “tours.” Groups of tours make up “loops.” The Unity Loop is one of several loops that SEA&WIN encourages players to visit.

However, businesses can still get involved by downloading the publicly available SEA&WIN Toolkit to promote the game and encourage players to visit their business as they explore Washington.
