I’m not a big running fan. Ok, I’ll confess. I despise running, but I found that the Zombie Run app makes running more tolerable. The Zombie Run app is an interactive game that reacts to the movement of your iPhone, iPod Touch, and Android gadgets as you run. You can take the game to a track, treadmill, or outside. It doesn’t matter where you run as long as you keep running and don’t get caught by the zombies.
You are designated as Runner Number 5 in the beginning as you go on a missions to collect items like medicine, batteries, and ammo while avoiding the zombie mobs. Dynamic radio messages and voice recordings, along with your own playlist, gives you directions on where to find the supplies, the locations of the zombies, and encouragement if you are running too slow. When you're back in the township, you build up your defenses to earn more missions. As you complete more missions you learn there’s a deeper mystery to be uncovered, puzzles to be solved, websites to be discovered, and documents to be viewed. You will discover the truth of what’s happened to the world.
So if I decide to go for a run, I’m going to run from Zombies!
