### 1/5 — No audio = unplayable

*2025-03-19, version 1.9*

There’s no audio. Tried two different phones but no sound. The game is unplayable and there’s no help on the Six to Start website.

### 5/5 — Pretty solid

*2022-09-12, version 1.9*

Good ui, good voice acting, no complaints! The board game is a fantastic time

### 1/5 — Please Help Me!!! It won’t work!!!

*2019-01-09, version 1.8*

Somehow it won’t allow me the option of going to certain places even though I’ve completed every other possibility at the two locations it gave me such as cooper look out( which appears as two location seven though they gave the same result) sooooo it can’t really... help with the gameplay immersive... X(

### 3/5 — Accessibility

*2018-08-20, version 1.7*

I just picked up the game and it's quite intriguing. The problem is it doesn't work with voiceover, and I always press a button without knowing what it does. Please make it accessible, and add more variety. Encountering different numbers of zombies, combat, and being able to collect different cards on the run would make the more exciting. Pretty cool dudes.

### 2/5 — Disappointed so far

*2018-02-11, version 1.6*

I so badly want to like this game. The physical component game play is alright, but the app itself needs so much more. Besides the bugs that allow you to run all over town with no story progression or get trapped in a location and be forced to restart, there are all sorts of ‘extra’ components included in the game that I want to use, but never find in the gameplay. If the app actually directed you through the story, the game would be better. Also, the game does not seem to sense your ability level. There is a bite component that looks awesome, but I’ve never used it. When you’ve played the game for hours without getting a bite, then the game should start throwing two and three zombies simultaneously at you, or you suddenly notice one at tracker space C. Running through a town should be harder AKA filled with more zombies than running through the woods. Making camp options should also be more story limited or paired with distances in the runs. I never run out of opportunity cards or even ration them. For a zombie game, it just doesn’t feel pressured at all.

### 2/5 — You will be disappointed

*2018-01-20, version 1.5*

Even after the 1.4 update, my party still got trapped in the Zumo bridge bug- unable to progress.  Game play was unbalanced and quite weak.  Voice acting on the app was good, but became repetitive.  Couldn’t finish the game due to bugs in the story/app.  Really disappointing and frustrating.  Not recommended.

### 1/5 — App freezes

*2018-01-02, version 1.3*

Played twice and the app froze with no option to choose from at Beresford. Also, while on Zuno bridge, the app only allows me to run back and forth from the east side of the bridge to the west side. No other options were present other than resting. The app needs to be updated.

### 4/5 — Fun so far!

*2018-01-01, version 1.3*

Two of us played and had fun! It would be more fun with more players since the leader has too much to keep track of if they play leader and make plans at the same time. The dialogue and storyline are awesome! All in all, pretty easy to figure out how to play (the YouTube how-to helped), and really engaging and exciting once you’re playing! We will definitely keep playing it!

I’ll change to five stars if the screen stops going to sleep on us during paused parts, and we get an audible heads up on timed challenges or choices. (Also, my kid votes to make an option to select a less scary zombie growl sound LOL!)

### 1/5 — Useless

*2017-12-24, version 1.3*

iOS 11 and audio won’t work. Settings doesnt pull the app so cannot check permissions. No in app prompts (very rudimentary app). Was a huge fan of the jogging app and bought this specifically to play over holiday. $45 paperweight. I didn’t know I was paying to be a beta tester.

### 1/5 — Needs Work

*2017-12-24, version 1.3*

I have been a fan of Zombies Run since for 6 years now and love the app but the board game has been a bit of a disappointment. I’ve tried to play through twice now and both times the app freezes in a new location with no options. Even after restarting I still can’t progress. Also, there are times that there is no clear motive of what my team is supposed to be doing so we end up running back and forth across town with no progression in the story. I hope they upgrade the game play because I want so badly to love this game.
