# How to download Walken and create an account

**T**o kick-start your Walken journey, use the links to <mark style="background-color:purple;">**download**</mark> <mark style="background-color:purple;"></mark><mark style="background-color:purple;">the app</mark> (both Android and iOS versions are available):

🔹Walken on <mark style="background-color:yellow;">**App Store**</mark>:[ https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1594168445](https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1594168445)

🔹Walken on <mark style="background-color:yellow;">**Google Play Market**</mark>: <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.milkywayapps.walken>

2\. Once you've downloaded and installed the app, choose the **sign in method** and proceed to creating a new **crypto Wallet**. Make sure to write down a **secret recovery phrase**, which consists of 12 words, and to keep it safe.

Once a player has a **Wallet**, it’s time to meet their first **CAThlete**. Each player gets one ***free level 0 CAThlete*** generated randomly from a set of genes. Having met this CAThlete, a player is now ready to start playing and earning.
