Zombies, run! The original concept of the game: audio guide + GPS + zombies + fitness

I keep digging into kickstarter ...

This time I was attracted to the game for mobile phones " Zombies, run! " (IOS / Android).

She was attracted primarily by the fact that this is not quite a game. This is a kind of running assistant.

Imagine - every day you run in the park. But this activity can be quite boring. However, by inserting headphones into your ears and launching this game, you begin not only to run, but to save yourself from zombies (yes, this is also true of this trend).



The presentation is rather messy and does not answer half of the questions. In the video you can see a man running and hear some commands that he receives through headphones. In most cases, they sound like “Your mother! Zombie! Run-save! ”

It is only said that the speed, duration and direction of the race is not important. The process itself is important. It is also said that while running, you collect different first-aid kits and other bonuses. And then, having come home, distribute them on the map for some purposes.




In the first "season" promise 30 different unique missions.

I don’t know how it will turn out in practice, but the idea of ​​turning a fitness run into a game seems to me very sensible. The project has collected $ 72,000 of the required 12 thousand. For large sums of donations, it was possible to get the opportunity to record their cries and cries for further use in the game.

Last month the game was released in app store (at a rather high price - $ 7.99). By the spring they promise an android. Official website: www.zombiesrungame.com

I did not check it myself. Maybe they did not really work out. But I was pleased not with the project itself, but with the approach. Such “games” are definitely needed. After all, they help us stay in shape;)
