Have you ever been evading zombies like a boss, gone to wipe your brow and said to yourself “I wish I had an awesome Runner 5 sweatband”? Or got back from a great run, made yourself a cup of tea and thought “you know, there’s just something cooler my mug could be sitting on”?

Well, look no further – we’ve listened to your requests and have come up with something a little different: the Runner 5 Supply Pack, for $27.49!

These Supply Packs are a perfect way to plunge yourself even deeper into the universe of Zombies, Run! as well as complete your Runner 5 look! Each pack contains:

• Runner 5 sweatband to keep your brow dry as you run for your life
• Reversible silicone wristband – ‘Abel Runner 5’ on one side, ‘If Grey Destroy Brain’ on the other. Just in case…
• Official Abel Township fabric patch, so you can literally wear your heart on your sleeve. Or your rucksack.
• 32 page Official Runner’s Notebook for serious field research. Definitely no doodling.
• Radio Abel mug coaster
• 2 vinyl stickers (‘Semper Currens’ and ‘Radio Abel’)
• 3 cool pin badges (‘Runner 5’, ‘Raise The Gates’ and ‘Abel Radio’)
• 4 item-pickup magnets (Ammo, Antibiotics, Batteries, & Sports Bra)

These packs are on a very short run and there’s no guarantee we will be offering them up again, so we expect them to sell out!

*Which is probably yourself – and that’s totally cool! Also: use code ZRBLOG3 to get $3 off the pack, for a limited time only!

We’ve expedited v3.2.2 of Zombies, Run! for iOS, which fixes the crashing bug, along with a problem that prevented in-app purchases from happening for iOS 8 users. Again, sorry for the inconvenience – and stay safe out there!

Unfortunately, this version has an instant-crashing bug related to ZombieLink. We’re really sorry about the inconvenience caused, and we’re working as fast as we can to get a fix out in v3.2.2

Now that there are over 150 missions in Zombies, Run! to sink your shoes into, how about a weekly update to keep you (and your runs) up to speed?

We’re opening beta access to our new, personalised newsletter, and you can add your name to the list here! This is a trial run for something we’re looking to launch in the the next few weeks, so we’re keen to get feedback about how we can make it as awesome as possible.

You’ll receive a report of your weekly Zombies, Run! activity delivered straight to your inbox, including all the essentials about your week’s missions, as well as cumulative running stats and a report from Abel Township – plus some extras!

On top of this, it will also recap the missions you have completed that week, offering stats for each run at a glance, as well as links to the full mission and run log pages if you want to check them out in more detail.

Hello! We’re aware that many iOS 8 users aren’t able to complete in-app purchases in Zombies, Run! We’re sorry for the inconvenience – we’re just as annoyed ourselves! – and we’re taking every action available to us to fix this.

We expect to have in-app purchases working again soon, and as soon as they’re ready, we’ll let you know.

It’s that time again! Time to see what the Zombies, Run! community has been cooking up. We’ve got another packed edition of the community round-up this month, including the much-anticipated arrival of Zombies, Run! T-shirts, hoodies and posters allowing a bunch of you to perfect your Runner 5 Halloween costumes.

Here you can see just a small selection of people who have been receiving their Zombies, Run! T-shirts and hoodies. Click on their pics to visit their Tumblr blog and see for yourselves what they have to say about them. (Spoiler: They kind of love them!)

Did you enjoy #StayAliveOctober? Then you’ll definitely want to check out #NoStoppingNovember. It’s… well, it’s basically the same thing, but one month later. Which makes it the perfect opportunity to take part in a global Zombies, Run! campaign, courtesy of Tumblr user Run Like A Zombie.

Halloween has come and gone for another year and we wanted to highlight a particularly excellent Runner 5 outfit. Tumblr user Izziegs put together a fantastic Runner 5 costume. You can see more pics here, or by clicking on the image below. Nice work, Izziegs!

In other Halloween news, we were very happy to see this Zombies, Run! pumpkin by Tumblr user Paulnewmanlover. More of this, please!

Next we have a great piece of fanart by Tumblr user Crownleys, showing her interpretation of the Doctor Girlfriends.

Tumblr users Lindleyjo and sleepyempress have put together some unofficial Zombies, Run! Cards Against Humanity decks. You can find instructions on how to access these over at Lindleyjo’s Tumblr. We’d love to see some of the results, so please send them over to us!

Don’t forget, if you’ve created some Zombies, Run! art (or anything else!) you can send it straight to us for inclusion in the next Community Round Up. Just email it to Jem@sixtostart.com.

It’s that time again! Time to see what the Zombies, Run! community has been cooking up. We’ve got another packed edition of the community round-up this month, no doubt spurred on by the epic conclusion to Season 3. You’ve outdone yourselves!

Fawndolyn Valentine who, apart from having an incredible name, runs website HoneyInMyGears.com, has sent us this great piece of university coursework. It’s a comic based on Season One episode nine of Zombies, Run!: A Voice In The Dark. 

If you like what you see from the snippet above, make sure you check out the rest of the comic over at Fawndolyn’s website. It’s a great take on the episode, showing Runner 5’s inner monologue during the iconic Season One run. We’ve all been there. 

The fanart keeps coming in! Here we have Anna Lundstrom’s (StopFailing on Deviantart) great take on Runner 5. A nice colourful outfit helps you forget you’re living in a zombie apocalypse. Until you get home to the barbed wire fence and start washing the blood and guts from your clothes. Still, until then it’s a beautiful dream.

Back to the Tumblr mines now, with an awesome picture by Coyotewhispers. Not only does Runner 5 have a hint of Lara Croft about her, but she’s joined by a super fuzzy dog friend.

Or perhaps it’s the dog who is the true Runner 5… Four legs would certainly make avoiding zombies a lot easier.

From a canine to a feline, Runner 5s come in all shapes and sizes. This cat, owned by Tumblr user WitchAryllia, became possibly the littlest member of Able Township when she joined her owner on her Zombies, Run! mission. We’re happy to see that the game is being used not just to exercise humans, but their pets too. Zombies, Run! is nothing if not an equal opportunity app.

Kalimak fanart

We started with a comic depicting the events of A Voice In The Dark, and here we have a piece of fanart by Tumblr user Kalimak which shows the events that took place just before. “Take Evasive Manoeuvres” shows the ambush of Runner 5 during episode eight of Season One, drawn in a great sketchy black and white style. We love it! 

It wouldn’t be a Zombies, Run! community round-up without a piece by TheWondersmith. Here we see a portrait of Janine and her gold aura. It’s stunning work, as always. Looks like something you’d expect to see on a propaganda poster. “Able Needs YOU” style. Great stuff. 

Finally we return to Podcast Detected, the fan-run Zombies, Run! podcast. We featured them on the community round-up a few months back and now they’re looking for some help in order for the project to survive. 

So check out the Indiegogo page and see if you can donate a little bit of money to keep your favourite Zombies, Run! podcast on the air. Thankfully it seems the team has enough already to continue for a while, but giving more will mean more stretch goal prizes for the community!

As always, if you have something you’d like to submit for the community round-up, make sure you send it over to Jem@Sixtostart.com. We’re looking forward to seeing your submissions!
