How 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, route, and generated zombie replay positions are used locally in your browser and are never sent to our servers. Finished runs are saved in this browser's local storage so you can review and visualize them on this device. If you clear browser data, switch devices, or use another browser, those local runs may not be available. 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.
