Run With Zombies is a free survival game that runs in your browser and uses your real GPS location. Zombies spawn around you on a live map. To survive, you have to keep moving.
No app install required. Open it in your mobile browser, allow location access, and start running. The longer you stay ahead of the horde, the higher your score.
The game is designed for outdoor play. It works best in open areas where GPS signal is strong, such as parks, streets, and trails.

Join Discord ChannelHow does it work?
Your browser reads your GPS position and places you on a live map. Zombies spawn nearby and move toward you. You have to run to stay ahead of them until the timer runs out.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free. No account or download required.
How is this different from Zombies, Run!?
Run With Zombies is a free GPS chase that runs in your browser. You do not need an app download or a subscription. For the full comparison, visit our Zombies, Run! alternative page.
What do I need to play?
A smartphone with GPS and a modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox). An internet connection is required to load the map tiles.
Why does it need my location?
Location access drives the game. Your real-world position decides where you are on the map. We do not store your GPS data on our servers. Recovery Spot placement may query OpenStreetMap/Overpass with nearby coordinates to find walkable roads or paths.
Does it work indoors?
GPS accuracy degrades indoors. For the full experience, play outside.
Can I install it as an app?
Yes. Open the settings panel and tap Install App to add it to your home screen as a Progressive Web App (PWA).
Is my location data stored?
Your GPS coordinates and route are used locally in your browser and are never sent to our servers. Recovery Spot placement may query OpenStreetMap/Overpass with nearby coordinates to find walkable roads or paths. If you log in and choose to save scores, we transmit score metadata (for example score, survival time, and horde settings) to power the public leaderboard.

July 27, 2026 - Version 0.0.2 - Healing spots on map
Healing spots are temporary safe targets that appear on the map while you run. When your stamina is low, head toward one and reach its location before the horde catches up.
When you arrive at a healing spot, your survivor recovers stamina so you can keep moving, change route, and stay in the chase longer.
