Zombies, Run!
My mom always used to joke that she would only run if monsters were chasing her, well now she’s out of excuses. The new health and fitness app, Zombies, Run!, puts its user in a post-apocalyptic world where zombies roam free.

Using GPS and a well executed and narrated story, the user, aka “runner 5” must avoid the monsters hunting the compounds while simultaneously collecting supplies and completing tasks to help maintain the few remaining human communities. Zombies, Run! is not only a fun motivator to complete your sometimes dull exercise routine, but also an impressive integration of real life activities and mobile gaming.

The Specifics: Available for iPhone & iPod. Android coming soon.
