ZOMBIES, RUN! Running Game for Smartphones

You tie your shoes, put on your headphones, take your first few steps outside. You’ve barely covered a hundred yards when you hear them. They must be close.

You can hear every gutteral breath, every rattling groan – they’re everywhere. Zombies. There’s only one thing you can do: Run!

Zombies, Run! is an ultra-immersive game for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and Android where you help rebuild civilization after a zombie apocalypse. By going out and running in the real world, you can collect medicine, ammo, batteries, and spare parts that you can use to build up and expand your base – all while getting orders, clues, and story through your headphones.

It doesn’t matter where you run.
It doesn’t matter how fast you run.
It doesn’t matter how far you run.

Just run.

So… it’s about running?

Zombies, Run! is about making the thrill of running even better with a game and a story delivered through your headphones. Six to Start is making running more fun, more exciting, and more addictive for everyone from couch-to-5k newbies to weekend joggers and marathon runners. And Zombies, Run! works anywhere – in a park, along a beach, in the city, even on treadmills!

Also: they don’t make you watch your screen while you’re running; they don’t make you change your favorite routes; and you don’t need to buy any fancy armbands or tracking devices. All you do is press a button when you start, and another button when you’re done. That’s it. they follow your lead.

Story, Game, & Fitness App: A Triple (Zombie) Threat!

You’re Runner 5. Hundreds of lives are counting on you. You’ve got to help your base rebuild from the ruins of civilization by collecting critical supplies while avoiding roving zombie hordes. Can you save them?

You receive orders and hear the story told through radio messages and voice recordings between your own custom playlists. Missions last around 20-30 minutes in real time and there’ll be over 30 unique missions in Season 1.

You’ll automatically collect items like medicine, batteries, and ammo while running, and once you’re back home, you get to assign them to different parts of your base. Who needs the vitamins more, the soldiers or the doctors? Which buildings need extra defenses? It’s up to you – and the bigger your base, the more missions you’ll have access to.But what are the leaders of your base scheming about? How did you get there? Where did the zombies come from? There’s a deeper mystery to be uncovered, puzzles to be solved, websites to be discovered, documents to be viewed so you can learn the truth of what’s happened to the world.

Zombies, Run! records the distance, time, pace, and calories burned of all your runs, and we’re keen to add RunKeeper integration. There’s also the option to hear audio notifications of for time, distance, and pace during your run. If you want to get fit while also saving the world, this is the game for you.

HAHHAHAHA Developers geeks don’t run!!! But all jokes aside, What I like about the game is that it is a unique title that truly takes advantage of touch-screen and GPS technology, it takes your  daily routine and makes it more fun. Which is great since we all know exercise is not fun, even if we know it’s beneficial. I personally find this very intriguing it’s a  interesting concept & would love to see how this plays out especially the multiplayer that they may work into the game in the future.
