The majority of people who enjoy the zombies phenomenon tend to sit at home and watch post-apocalyptic movies and television shows, or play zombie-themed video games such as Xbox's Left 4 Dead series.

What if there was a way to get some exercise while satisfying your zombies craving?

That's what the Kickstarter app Zombies, Run! hopes to accomplish.

Developed by Six to Start, the gaming app puts players into a world plagued by zombies, and motivates them to physically run their way to survival while uncovering the stories of how the virus broke out.

"I've been running for several years now, and one of the things that got me into it was by using technology such as Garmin's GPS watch to help track my runs," Adrian Hon, the app's co-creator and CEO of Six to Start, says of the inspiration for the game. "While these are great utilities, they don't actually make running itself any more fun.

"It's crucial to provide as much motivation and entertainment as possible to people who are starting out - when it's tiring and painful - and that's what we hope this game does."

The Kickstarter initially asked for $12,500 to develop the app and received an overwhelming support of $72,627, more than five times the amount of its goal.
