We hope you’re prepared for this one. Today we release the final two missions in Zombies, Run! Season Four, bringing our most thrilling season yet to its stunning conclusion. In all their glory, this week’s missions are:
S4M39: “Bed of Lies”
S4M40: “Choice”
Those of you lucky souls with a Pro Membership can download and play both missions right now. Those of you without can use your free weekly unlock to get either one, but we’d recommend running these in order!
And with that, another season of everyone’s favourite running game comes to an end. We hope you’ve enjoyed running through it as much as we enjoyed making it. Let us know your thoughts on these missions (and the entire season!) here on on Twitter (@zombiesrungame).
There are now two million people who’ve bought or downloaded Zombies, Run! That’s two million people who have run with Sam’s voice in their ears.
Two million people who have heard “zombies detected!” and run like the wind.
Two million people who’ve run the extra mile to get the supplies, to warn the settlement, to save the child, to help Abel Township.
Two million people who could’ve woken up on a rainy Sunday morning and decided, yes, I want to find out what happens next, I want to have fun. I want to get out and run.
Two million Runners Five.
Thank you all so much for running with us. To celebrate, we’re running a series of posts about the milestone over the next few days.
Yesterday, for the almost-final time this year, we released two brand new Season Four Missions! Ahead of next week’s thrilling Season Four finale, this week’s missions have our trademark mix of excitement, intrigue and emotions. This week, we have:
S4M37: “Cherish”
S4M38: “The Game Has Changed”
As usual, if you have a Pro Membership, you can download both of these missions right now! Otherwise, you can use your free weekly unlock to download either one.
Let us know what you think of these – drop us a line here or on Twitter (@zombiesrungame).
Just like trick-or-treating and cheesy Hollywood movies, dressing up as a bloodied but victorious Runner Five is fast becoming a Halloween tradition. To celebrate, we’ve designed a brand new limited-edition tee:
The Season 4 saga continues with two all-new missions! This week, get those running shoes on for Mission 35 ‘You Win Again’ and Mission 36 ‘Back In Black’.
As always, Pro Members can download both missions right now, while free and legacy members can unlock either one with their free weekly unlock.

This week, we’re saying goodbye to our lead artist, Estee Chan. Estee joined Six to Start five years ago and she’s worked on some of our biggest and most ambitious projects – The Code, The Walk, Step Buy Step, and of course, Zombies, Run! Seasons 1 to 4.
I can’t overstate how influential Estee has been for Zombies, Run! – practically every icon, logo, illustration, design, banner, poster, and T-shirt was created by her, including our distinctive red/black/white visual identity. We’ve asked Estee to do so much in so many different media, and she’s always risen to the task.
On a personal note, Estee has been a delight to work with, and in this business, that’s really important.
Estee is moving to Japan, but we intend to stay in touch – and if you are in need of a fantastic freelance graphic designer and artist, we can’t recommend her more highly. Check out her portfolio!
…and welcome to Kascha Sweeney!
We’re also welcoming a new artist to Zombies, Run! and Six to Start, and if you haven’t heard her name, you’ve definitely seen her Tumblr: The Wondersmith.
Kascha caught our eye years ago as one of the most talented and prolific fan artists out there, and we first worked with her on The Walk, where she drew and painted some truly beautiful maps.
We’ve also commissioned her to create T-shirts and posters based on her fan art:
We’re really looking forward to working with Kascha on Zombies, Run! Season 5 – carrying the flame of what Estee established, and bringing it into 2016 and beyond. Kascha will also be working on an exciting new art-rich project that we’ll be announcing soon!
Hopefully this image is not representative of your phone’s current state, because there are two brand new Zombies, Run! Season Four missions for you to run! This week we have:
S4M33: “One Of Us”
S4M34: “Who Are You?”
As always, pro members can download both missions right now, while free and legacy members can unlock either one with their free weekly unlock.
Already played them? Let us know what you think here or on Twitter (@zombiesrungame).
Check out the sweet loot that our Virtual Race participants will be getting! These just arrived in our office today, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the quality and finish of the medals, race bibs (who doesn’t want to have a Runner 5 number?), towels, pin badges, and more.
There are only a few entries left for the Virtual Race, and true to our word, we won’t be opening any more beyond that – mostly because we can’t make enough medals. So if you’re still on the fence, it’s time to jump off, put on your trainers, and get ready to run!
Zombies, Run!
