Our latest New Adventure – Volcano Race – is available to download in-app now!
A routine check of equipment at Mt. Archie turns dangerous when the volcano you’ve been monitoring erupts, leads to a thrilling race to escape the effects! Can you outrun lava flows, mudslides, and choking ash and make it to safety in time?
Abel Runner’s Club members can play them immediately, and Free Members can use their free weekly unlock to gain access.
Be careful, Five, because you’ll find no mercy in Soft Target and I Will Kill Again, this week’s new missions!

On Friday September 20th, Six to Start will be carrying out a company-wide strike action in support of the Global Climate Strike. During this time, we will not be responding to any support tickets, social media messages, or other contacts, and will not be carrying out any work.
The climate crisis we’re facing is an existential threat to our species, and to life on this planet. We at Six to Start feel strongly that it’s our responsibility to do whatever we can to meet this threat. By striking, we hope to add our voices to the calls for immediate and effective climate action, and to encourage others to do the same.
In our work, we spend a lot of time thinking about global catastrophe, and about humanity’s response to such events. We’re proud to present fictional worlds in which disaster is met with solidarity, with kindness, and with hope. The stories we tell reflect in part our belief that we are strongest when we act together, and that belief informs our decision to strike.
We encourage everyone reading this post to join us in striking on September 20th.

Working on Zombies, Run! we’re lucky to have a very dedicated, creative and overall lovely fanbase. We try to celebrate that whenever we can, so we’ve been talking to some of our fans and would now like to introduce another of our fan interviews!
Today we talk with Scorriganworks about finding Zombies, Run!, favourite missions, and tips for city running!
I wanted something to help me with doing regular workouts and the story idea appealed to me. While I’m not particularly a fan of zombie stories because they were everywhere in the 2000s (and continue to be popular!), Zombies, Run! was appealing because it had a story that distracted me from running itself, and also interacted with me while I ran.
I picked up the app very early, back in January 2013, and I’ve been using it since then. I hadn’t heard anything about the app before then, but I saw it on sale. The thing about zombies is ya gotta run from them!
I’m sure everyone’s gonna say A Voice in the Dark, or missions which feature Runner 10’s story, but I think that the best single mission is in Season 2. It’s Mission 30: Panic. You’ve been with the Abel Township gang for just long enough to feel like you really know all of them well, and then people — not zombies, but people with free will — come into your base and mess up all your stuff! They wreck Jody’s knitting! It really earns how much it plays with your emotions, because the world feels truly lived in. It’s also a good standalone mission.
As primarily a city runner, I have a few running rules I abide by:
(Editor: We have definitely noticed that zombies seem to love traffic crossings and have a real eye for when they change to red!)
My apocalypse plan is to find somewhere safe to hole up on high ground. Then I’ll hit up a library or bookstore for some basic gardening or car repair books and settle in. Why, do you know a place with an opening?
(Editor: The Six to Start bunker is very well provisioned, I have to say)
I do not flatter myself that I would survive a zombie apocalypse. The main thing I worry about is losing my glasses like Velma from Scooby Doo!
My playlist hasn’t changed much in a really long time. I’m not very scientific about my music; I just have a bunch of songs that I like on shuffle.
Thank you so much for talking with us! You can find Scorrigan as a regular contributor on Rofflenet and Tumblr!
Time to experiment with this week’s new missions, Weird Science and Dear Alice!
You can download these missions right now from the ‘Missions’ tab. If you’re a member of the Abel Runners Club, you can download and play both missions immediately. Otherwise, you can use your free weekly unlock to play either one.
It’s a discussion that everyone must have at some point in their lives, one that has haunted mankind for years. Who would you have on your zombie apocalypse survival squad?
We’re no strangers to this question here at Six to Start – after all, we spend a pretty big chunk of our time considering the undead and making them come to life in Zombies, Run!. And now we set out to answer that most pressing of questions as we ask the team, which Zombies, Run! characters would you choose to support you in the zombie apocalypse?
The zombie apocalypse is no laughing matter, which is why I’m starting with Jamie Skeet. As a former firefighter, Jamie will have no problem navigating the ruins of civilization, and his no-nonsense manner means he’ll get the job done, no matter what. Even better, he’s good with kids!
Maxine Myers has to be part of any squad. You’ve got to have a doctor, and I can’t think of anyone who’s smarter, friendlier, or more skilled. Maxine used to be a geneticist, and while my biosciences are a bit rusty these days, I think we could make a great research team.
So far I’ve just gone with practical picks, but you need to take care of the spirit as well as the flesh. And who better to do that than a master storyteller like Margaret Atwood – someone who can remind us why we fight on, why life is worth living, and why The Arrogant Worms is the best.
OK – let’s stipulate that I love Sam. Who doesn’t love Sam? And while I’m not going to question his supremacy as the best operator in the apocalypse, there’s only so much one man can do. Sure, the Automated Operator System is a bit rickety, and yes, maybe it’s a little bit dangerous, but that just means there’s plenty of room for improvement. A bit of work and we’ll have it helping hundreds of runners simultaneously!
… and who better to do that work than Chris McShell, zombie expert, master tactician, and stone-cold scientist? He’s not a barrel of laughs, but Chris is the person I’d want by my side if I had a horde of zombies on my heels and we needed to somehow steer them into an area just in between the two of us…
That’s right – Season 8 is back! The terrain is rocky, so be careful with this week’s new missions, Icebreaker and Red Right Hand.
PLUS over in our New Adventures tab, you’ll find Run the Solar System, released in partnership with the British Science Association. Perfect for new players & veterans alike, you can now run across the stars straight from the Zombies, Run! app.
You can download these missions right now from the Missions tab. Run the Solar System is fully unlocked and available for free for all users – and if you’re a member of the Abel Runner’s Club, you can download and play Season 8 Missions 16 and 17 immediately. Otherwise, you can use your free weekly unlock to play either one.
As always, please let us know what you think!
