I used to sit in the back seat of my dad’s pathfinder during roadtrips and pretend I was on the road to Safe Haven, dodging death and zombies. I HIGHLY recommend it, as its great fun and, imo, a vast improvement on Oregon Trail. Now, the expansions are also great. I particularly love the Clement’s Quest mini game. Problem is, on the phone they cause a particular game breaking glitch. The expansion includes a bonus boss battle after the final gas run and after said boss battle, there’s a final screen: “You make it to safe haven” BUT the game soft-crashes and you're trapped looking at the final screen. If you restart, you’re forced to battle the boss again. If you lose, well, that’s just frustrating, but if you win, after fighting the boss twice, you get a victory screen, yes, but all the points you’d receive for your trip (stock-piled supplies, miles driven, etc.) are null and void. The game only registers the base score. I suppose if you’re okay with fighting the boss twice and not getting a score at the end, the expansions are otherwise glitch free, but I enjoy winning once and getting a score. Expansions work great on PC tho (to include a two player mode where your friends can play as a dog), so I just keep it base game on my phone for trips and such, and play with all the extra frills on pc. ### 3/5 — Got Softlocked After Winning Boss Fight *2025-01-10, version 2.0.4* I enjoyed my trip down memory lane playing this old classic, but the title says it all. I fought the squid boss with my car at 1hp and won, only to get softlocked at the “You enter Safe Haven” screen. So I had to beat the squid again, without getting hit once, and this time it let me through. The ending is just: (spoilers, kinda) “You made it! Your Score is: x” …and that’s it. Forgot how anticlimactic this game is. ### 2/5 — Beat the game on suicide level but it freezes *2022-08-26, version 2.0.4* So I have beaten the game multiple times now on Suicide level and told enter Safe Haven. However my game won’t move past it- very disappointing. ### 5/5 — Genuine Classic. *2022-07-08, version 2.0.4* I remember finding this game when I was still in middle school and it’s stayed on my phone ever since. This game is one of the last few things in the App Store that isn’t plagued with scam ads every second. While I love this game with all my heart and know the devs worked on this game for so, so long, I can’t help but feel it’s been kind of left to rot. Honestly, I would happily shell out more money for a DLC if it meant there’d be more little side stories, events on the road, maybe even an alternate ending in the game. ### 4/5 — Good game but one glitch *2022-07-01, version 2.0.4* This game is amazing and can be play multiple time without being bored. It takes awhile but that what fun about it. If you play on normal hard or expert mode it will glitch not letting you get your win making it some what upsetting. ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-05-23, version 2.0.4* Enjoyed it a lot. Played it when I was younger and redownloaded it and it’s still as good as I remember. Nice music too. Would recommend ### 5/5 — This game…. *2022-01-02, version 2.0.4* Is probably the best phone game I’ve ever played. Hands down if you love zombies and wanna travel and try to survive this is for you. Buy it now before this app won’t be updated and can no longer be played. I hope they make more games like this. Thank you guys for the memories. ### 2/5 — Game crashes when entering name at start *2021-12-19, version 2.0.4* After Clement saves you and asks your, attempting to type it in (using Apple Pen 2 keyboard interface) immediately crashes to Home Screen. Giving 2 stars because I played it years ago and know how good it was, sad bugs have rendered it unplayable. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-10-28, version 2.0.4* I’ve had this game in my library for years now and I still find myself downloading it and then playing it over and over again. I hope they come out with some sort of sequel. ### 4/5 — Super good but slightly buggy *2021-08-09, version 2.0.4* Amazing and fantastic game, except for a few bugs that almost ruin the experience. Specifically, at the very end of Suicide mode in the expansion, the game crashes instead of letting me go into Safe Haven. Sometimes I have to repeat the boss fight two or three times just to finish my run. Not the worst glitch but I could definitely do without. ### 3/5 — Wanted to love it *2021-06-08, version 2.0.4* As a huge fan of both TWD and Oregon Trail, wanted to love this so much! But, I just can’t get over how the zombies can overpower you when they’re not even close enough to touch you. ### 5/5 — Pleasantly surprised *2021-06-01, version 2.0.4* I expected an Oregon trail knock off and was very happy to discover how wrong I was. The random encounters can range from funny to sad, the tombstones are always funny, and the variety of minigames kept me entertained throughout the entire experience. ### 5/5 — So much fun!! *2021-05-10, version 2.0.4* Wow, such a great twist on a classic. After seeing Apple arcade Oregon trail I was disappointed since it was so different but I was happy to see this game and get such nostalgic feelings about something so new. A+ in my book! ### 4/5 — End of game bug is only complaint *2021-05-05, version 2.0.4* The game is effectively the best version of Oregon Trail on IOS. The apple arcade version is kinda trash. If you're okay with the zombie theme it's the best recreation of the game even down to the art style. Only complaint is the game locks up when reaching safe haven if youve fought the boss before hand(happened on normal and hard for me, which is weird because I thought the boss was only even there on hard and up). The first time I played on normal and the boss wasn't there, the game ended just fine. Having your game crash right at the end is always a bummer and it's happened to me twice now. That said, game is still a blast and I still get the unlocks for completion even if I don't get to see my score. Totally worth the buy. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stinklangweilig. *2025-12-21* Ich sehe große Parallelen zu eingeschlafenen Füssen mit Pilzsoße. ### 1/5 — BROKEN GAME DO NOT BUY *2024-10-19, version 2.0.4* The game freezes on th3 last screen, so you cannot “beat” the game. I asked the creators about it, they said they’re aware it’s broken and will not be patching it (see: eight years since a patch) DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE MONEY FOR A BROKEN GAME ### 1/5 — Good but.. *2022-05-15, version 2.0.4* Played on iPhone 13, I beat the game with all characters and it froze before getting in “safe haven” so I didn’t unlock anything waste of time I’m just gonna request a refund I feel cheated on a otherwise great game not gonna continue to play if it doesn’t work the way it should. ### 1/5 — Trash *2021-12-11, version 2.0.4* Garbage crashed after I scavaged, cost money yet they haven’t updated it in 6 years. Don’t buy this game, just buy retro bowl instead, buggy but actually has effort and is updated. ### 1/5 — Won’t download *2021-06-17, version 2.0.4* Wont ### 1/5 — Want my money back please *2021-06-12, version 2.0.4* This is not the original ### 1/5 — Fix the bug!! I want a refund! *2021-03-03, version 2.0.4* There’s a bug, that apparently has been affecting the app for like 4 years now, where at the end during the “tap to reach safe haven” part, nothing happens when you tap, it doesn’t register. Ruined 2 of my first 3 games, not playing again until I hear this bug is fixed. Unfortunately I bought the expansions before I knew about the issue. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — DONT BUY!!! *2021-01-13, version 2.0.4* Truly awful game. Wish I could get a refund. Not fun. No real game play but just repetitive and NOT THE OREGON TRAIL game ### 1/5 — Such a disappointment! *2020-07-05, version 2.0.4* I was looking for the original Oregon Trail we played more than 20 years ago on our Apple. This game, even though it used the title, was such a fraud. It just showed somebody shooting zombies in a vintage pixelated format with very defective coding. Very, very disappointing! I want my $2.99 back! ### 1/5 — Cannot Control the App *2019-12-25, version 2.0.4* I’m using an iPhone Xs and cannot control the shooter. After tapping and dragging on the zombies, it simply doesn’t shoot. Also when the character is near the top of the screen, zombies are too close and when you tap and drag, instead of shooting, it pulls the iPhone menu down. Unusable. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Underrated *2026-06-16, version 2.0.4* One of the best mobile games, period. Classic Oregon Trail style gameplay with its own unique original zombie apocalypse twist. Have had this game & played for years. Also can play offline! It’s rad, worth every single penny. ### 5/5 — Wonderfully grim game *2025-09-04, version 2.0.4* Great game with great execution ### 5/5 — Still hoping for an update *2025-05-12, version 2.0.4* Fantastic game, after all this time I still check to see if there’s an update to make it full screen and such. I’ll continue to check because this game is that good. ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2025-04-24, version 2.0.4* Amazing game! ### 5/5 — Amazing but not really for children *2025-02-18, version 2.0.4* When I got the game I thought it would be clean.but it had a couple curse words which I didn’t mind at first.then it had some nudity so I deleted it.probably for 15 and up ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2024-05-22, version 2.0.4* I love this game to death. The concept, the gameplay, the music, the barebones story, it’s perfect. It gives you just enough detail to help you understand the world, but there’s no real story besides the basic goal of reaching Safe Haven. The music is just beautiful. It holds a sort of hopeless hope in it with each track, that there’s some light at the nonexistent end of the tunnel. This game is a masterclass of a parody that just oozes with creativity and uniqueness. I genuinely hope one day someone makes a video about this game and it becomes known for the masterpiece it is. ### 5/5 — Incredible game. Glad it’s mobile *2023-10-31, version 2.0.4* Organ Trail is a simplistic game but it’s entertaining. I see a lot of people criticizing the game for it’s lack of content, but I don’t understand why it’s an issue for something to be simple especially if the developers intended it that way and executed it correctly. ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-10-21, version 2.0.4* Please add more expansions ### 5/5 — What happened?? *2023-06-17, version 2.0.4* All support has been dropped and no new games or anything. Y’all literally had a commercial and fell off the planet. What happened?? ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-01-02, version 2.0.4* Great game, love it to death, but the ending needs to be fixed. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
