The scene is set.  A virus outbreak has reduced your neighborhood to apocalyptic wasteland inhabited by gruesome zombies with a insatiable hunger for your brains. The police and fire departments are gone, no fuel for cars and you must struggle to find the materials you need for daily survival. If this were the case, how fast and how far would you be able to run? Well, iPhone app developers are drawing upon your survival instincts to help you get the most out of your run.
Zombies, Run! iPhone app
Enter the Zombies, Run! Apple iPhone app, perhaps the single coolest iPhone app that I have ever seen. it combines my love for running with, well, you guessed it, Zombies. The app works this way, you are living in a neighborhood surrounded by Zombie hordes and you must run to various locations to find weapons, ammo, medicine and food. As you run, the Apple iPhone app records your time am distances and syncs them with storyline of the Zombies, Run! app. As you run, you can unlock new missions and music, grow your profile and gain access to online content. The developers are even in discussions to secure the rights to the music from the 28 days Later soundtrack. Currently the app is only available on iPhone platforms, but an Android version is on it’s way.

Kickstart iPhone app
The project was developed by a group of independent developers working with Kickstarter. Kickstarter is a funding platform for all types of technological and artistic projects across the globe. A video of the Zombies, Run! app can be found here.
