Running 20km+ a week can sometimes get boring, no matter how much you vary your route or playlist, so I’m really interested in a new app being crowd-funded via Kickstarter.
The app is called ZOMBIES, RUN! and is described as a “running game and audio adventure”. The basic premise is you’re running in a post zombie-apocalyptic world and as you go on your normal runs you can collect medicine, ammo, batteries and spare parts, which you use to update your ‘base’ back at home. The more you collect, the more missions you can unlock at home, so each time you run you’ll be on a new mission, hearing a new part of the story. Sounds brilliant to me.
What’s even more brilliant is the team behind ZOMBIES, RUN! started with an aim to get $12,500 worth of crowd-funding via Kickstarter to develop the app. It’s captured so many people’s imagination their running total is currently $72, 627 and counting, so hopefully the app will be even better. Here’s more about the project:
