The Fan Shout-Out Roundup
It’s just under 3 months since we launched Zombies, Run! to the world, and there’s been plenty of surprises and excitement since then. But by far the most gratifying thing about releasing the game has been the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response from our players. You’ve been leaping on every opportunity to tell your own Zombies, Run! stories, produce wonderful artwork and get involved...
Android: 28 Days Later (June 14th)
Yes - it’s not May, and it’s not Spring, either. But come Thursday June 14th, Zombies, Run! will be on Android! We’re really sorry that we aren’t able to release it any sooner - we want it to be out just as much as you do, so we’ve thrown all of our mobile development resources into Android to make that happen.
In order to make this release date, there are a few...

Recon Report: What's Happening Next with ZR
Now that we’ve launched v1.2 of Zombies, Run! and will be releasing the Android version in the next couple of months, we want to share a bit more information about what we have planned beyond that.
But first, it’s useful to explain why we’re often a bit cagey about providing exact release dates and plans:
Every update we make to the game needs to go through Apple’s...

Note: Looks like there’s a bug that lets you collect free first aid kits (along with other less-useful things) - we’ll fix it in the next update, but until then, enjoy the free supplies! At least they’re not sports bras…
In the next few hours, you should be able to download our latest free v1.2 update to Zombies, Run! What delightful surprises does it contain? Why,...

Announcing The Runner's Guide
Imagine that you’ve arrived in Abel Township, one of the last remnants of humanity in a zombie-infested world. You’ve journeyed for days and weeks to get there, constantly on guard, but now you’ve finally got a chance to rest and recuperate before you begin your duties as a Runner.
But how do the Abel Township Runners operate? Which supplies are you meant to collect? What...
All the News that's Fit to Print

It's Almost Time
The full story is on our Kickstarter page, but in short:
Barring any major disasters (e.g. asteroids, zombies, Apple, etc.) we are going to launch the iOS version before the end of this month. So, even if that means 29th February - and we hope it’s sooner - that’s just over two weeks.
Just imagine - two weeks until you too can be running for your life from zombies and saving humanity. It’s...
