Pokémon Go by Niantic, provided you live in a high population area (or an area with plenty of Points of Interest, or POIs). The premise is you walk around outside and catch Pokémon - the game uses GPS (think like walking around with Google Maps open).

I recommend it, but the player motivation is probably as low as it has been due to Niantics decisions to walk back COVID decisions, as well as the general state of the game (bugs etc.), but it's fine to motivate you to take a daily walk for sure, or just something to do on a commute if you are sat on a bus for example.

Ingress which is the first game Niantic made, and laid the foundations for Pokémon Go regarding the map (the games generally share the same POIs). It's more competitive as there are two teams and you fight for control over the POIs whereas in Pokémon Go the POIs are generally places to restock items. It uses GPS like Pokémon Go.

Again I recommend this, if not to at least check out for an hour. The game doesn't hold your hand as much so it's best to join a nearby community.
