Zombies, Run!

Zombies, Run! is a motivating physical training application that comes along with an augmented reality game in which we'll have to escape from the zombies

Zombies: a good reason to run

If you enjoy running to keep fit, you've probably heard that running is for cowards. And they might be right, except when you're being chased by hordes of zombies. In this case, running is more than justified. That's what Zombies, Run! is all about, a fitness and workout app that gets you running by sending an army of undead after you to eat your brains for dinner.

An app for runners that combines play and training

With the idea that there are only two types of runners in nature, those who hunt for food and those who don't want to become food, this app makes us the first element of the food chain. Combining a classic fitness app and an augmented reality game, we'll be motivated by a horde of zombies that will hunt us down and dictate our pace. This will make it easier for us to reach our time and distance goals if we don't want them to catch up with us.

But that's not all: this idea came from writer Naomi Alderman, who gave each race a storyline so that both the reason for running and the music we listen to are in the same context. In other words, our training becomes a game that includes different missions, such as gathering supplies to return to our base.
