Zombies, Run!

You tie your shoes, put on your headphones, take your first steps outside. You’ve barely covered 100 yards when you hear them. They must be close. You can hear every guttural breath, every rattling groan – they’re everywhere. Zombies. There’s only one thing you can do: Run!

Zombies, Run! is an ultra-immersive running game and audio adventure, co-created with award-winning novelist Naomi Alderman. Every run becomes a mission where you’re the hero, with our immersive audio drama putting you at the centre of your very own zombie adventure story. While you run to the perfect mix of heart-pumping audio drama and pulse-pounding songs from your own playlist, you’ll collect supplies to grow your base back home.

BBC NEWS – “The only way to save yourself is to run for real.”WIRED – “In the style of Runkeeper, with an exciting undead twist.”LIFEHACKER – “A really cool way to get outside and exercise.”CNN – “Turns exercise into a game – a terrifying, terrifying game.”TIME – "Takes all the fun of a zombie game and funnels it into a fitness app."

WALK, JOG, OR RUN ANYWHEREZombies, Run! works anywhere and at any speed. You can jog in a park, run along a beach, or walk along a trail. It even works on treadmills!
