Activarium

Activarium is a game that students play with the daily activity they gather on their activity monitors: the more daily activity on Polar Active, the more activity points in Activarium!

Each student has their own fish that represents them in the game, and together as a group the students build a structure, such as a castle or a shipwreck, by reaching their daily activity target. The students can see how the building project progresses, and with the collected activity points they can customize their fish. Teacher can also buy decorations for the Activarium with the course's activity points.

Activarium can be activated for any course. There can be several Activariums in use at the same time. The school can showcase either all activated Activariums or a selected one, for example, on a big screen at school. Students can access a course's Activarium after signing in to the web service if Activarium has been activated.

Activarium is not automatically included in the Polar GoFit licenses. It has to be purchased separately for the school.

Activity points

The daily activity the students gather on their activity monitors is turned into activity points. The fish can be customized and the Activarium can be decorated with activity points.

There are three types of activity points:

  • All daily activity a student gathers increases his/her individual activity point score. The students can customize their own fish with these activity points. Customization is buying accessories and changing colors and pattern.
  • The daily activity the students gather together gradually builds up the selected structure automatically.
  • The gathered daily activity that exceeds the daily activity target increases course's activity point score. The teacher can decorate the Activarium with these activity points.
