Season 7 Has Arrived!

The long wait is over – Season 7 of Zombies, Run! launches today! Over the coming months we’ll have new missions, new base buildings, and new artefacts to discover.

We’ll be releasing a total of 40 missions this season – two per week, with a brief mid-season hiatus. Kicking off this thrilling season, we’ve got Sorry for Party Rocking and Talk Talk.

We’re still putting the final touches on S7 Radio Mode, and we’re hoping to release it in the next week or two!

You can download these missions right now from the ‘Missions’ tab in the all-new iPhone or Android app. If you’re a Pro Member, you can download and play both missions immediately. Otherwise, you can use your free weekly unlock to play either one.

As always, please let us know what you think!

Help us test ZR7 on Android!

Hello! We’re planning to release ZR7 next month, and we’d like your help to test it on Android. It is jam-packed full of new features and redesigned screens, but we obviously want to make sure it all works! If you’d like to help, join our new Google+ Beta Testing community.

Once you’ve successfully joined, you’ll then have to opt-in to receive beta builds using the link shown in the community.

The usual disclaimers apply!

  • You agree that Six to Start isn’t liable for any data loss or harm, and that you’ll definitely make sure you’re fully synced with ZombieLink before you start! This isn’t for the fainthearted.
  • You also agree to provide useful feedback about any problems or unexpected behaviour you encounter, and not to share any information about pre-release builds.
  • Testing beta software carries some risks. Six to Start will not be liable for any loss suffered as a result of using beta versions of the app. If you understand this and wish to proceed, only then should you follow the link.

Zombies, Run! on the Casio WSD-F20 Smartwatch

We’ve partnered with the new Casio Smartwatch WSD-F20 Pro Trek Smart to feature Zombies, Run! on their dedicated app store. The WSD-F20 supports Android Wear 2.0 and has water resistance, advanced low-power GPS, and incredibly rugged build – seriously, we’ve flung our unit onto the ground hard many times, and it keeps ticking like nothing happened at all.

One very cool thing about the WSD-F20 is that you can download colour maps of the entire world to it in advance of a trip, so you can use GPS to track your location and navigate, even with no cell service. Plus it won a CES 2018 Innovation Award for Wearable Technologies!

Like the look of it? Find out more details from the official website – and stay tuned, because we may have a very exciting announcement coming up…

The Spring 2018 Virtual Race is here!

The Crown Jewels have been stolen under the cover of the zombie apocalypse!

Under the command of Runner 8 – Sara Smith – you’ve been recruited to the Queen’s Own Royal Guards: Tactical Zombie Division to catch the thieves and discover their plans…

All entries include our very first double-sided medal, plus our first enamel pin, certificate, briefing card, two training missions, and more! 

Plus we have a great range of race gear including short and long-sleeve tech shirts (both unisex and women’s fits), personalised shirts, tank tops, and hoodies. There’s even a stylish black mug!

Even better, our first two Virtual Races are now on sale as a bundle! People have been asking about buying entry to these races for a long time, and we’re really happy to have finally figured out a way of doing it well. Entry includes a new exclusive enamel pin for each race, plus our classic Abel Township “defensive tea towel”, briefing cards, and certificates.

And if you’ve already have entry to one of these races, you’ll be glad to know that we provide individual gift codes for each race, which means you can send your spare one to a friend.

The Spring 2018 Virtual Race is set during the early days of Season 1, so there are no spoilers for the rest of the story. That means please do take care with posting spoilers or speculation, for obvious reasons!

We’re really excited about this race, we think it’s going to be a huge amount of fun with a character that we’ve all wanted to hear more from. Sign up, join the Tactical Zombie Division, and get ready to race from April 19-30!
