How to Play

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.

  1. Open the game on your phone in a modern browser (Chrome, Safari, or Firefox). No app install or account needed.
  2. Allow location access. Your real-world position places you on the map. The game works best outdoors where GPS is strong.
  3. Start moving. Zombies spawn nearby and chase you. Stay ahead of the horde until the timer runs out.
  4. Collect hotspots placed on the roads ahead of you. Recovery spots restore stamina; weapon spots grant freeze and kill charges.
  5. Survive. The longer you stay ahead, the higher your score. Narrow escapes and zombie kills add bonus points.

Zombie Types

Three kinds of zombies hunt you. Each has its own speed, toughness, and threat level. Drag each 3D preview to rotate and zoom.

Preview Speed Bite How it works
Walker
 1.0× 1 / sec The standard zombie. Matches your pace and bites for 1 stamina per second when it catches you. Makes up about 70% of the horde.
Runner
 1.8× 1 / sec Fast and relentless. Outruns you easily, so freeze it or keep your distance. About 20% of the horde.
Tank
 0.6× 3 / sec Slow but devastating. Bites for 3 stamina per second. Avoid it, or use the kill weapon. About 10% of the horde.

Hotspot Types

Hotspots appear on walkable roads ahead of you. Walk within their pickup radius to collect them. Drag each 3D preview to rotate and zoom.
