This Pikmin-based game is much simpler than the company's other endeavours, but it's still a great motivator to get out of the house and go for a walk or run.Īs you walk, you'll grow more Pikmin - the plant-like characters from the Nintendo franchise of the same name - and leave trails of flowers behind you. The developer behind Pokemon GO, Niantic, has made similar AR games for some other franchises, like Harry Potter and Pikmin. If you go too slow, you'll run the risk of the zombies getting you, after all. With hundreds of missions to complete, a base-building system that makes you feel rewarded, and rave reviews from users for the story, it's a great way to get yourself moving quickly. The game revolves around a post-apocalyptic story written by novelist Naomi Alderman that you can listen to as you use the app. It's quite a thrilling motivator, helping you to alternate between speeds - making it great for interval training that kicks your gaming cardio up a notch compared to Pokemon GO. At certain points, the app will alert you that some zombies are after you, and you'll need to run to escape. When you're out walking or running, you can listen to your own music. If you have trouble motivating yourself to run, Zombies, Run! is probably for you. Can listen to your own music whilst it is running.Price: Free ( Apple App Store, Google Play store).Images via Six to Start Zombies, Run! details
