Bestselling novelist Naomi Alderman has completed a deal to acquire the video games she co-created, the fitness adventure apps Zombies, Run! and The Walk.
The games, co-created with the British company Six to Start, are fitness smartphone adventures that deliver exciting narrative stories to players’ headphones while they run or walk in the real world.
An interactive format that is designed to encourage exercise, Alderman has been writing for the titles for more than a decade.
Zombies, Run! and The Walk represent a notable UK success story in the niche of fitness gaming. The titles have been downloaded more than 10 million times, establishing them as the most successful smartphone fitness games within their category.
By acquiring full control of the games, Alderman secures the future of the narrative work and ensures the continued availability of the successful titles for their user base.
“Since the very start, Zombies, Run! has been a community, you have given us so much enthusiasm, expertise, and support. I’m thrilled to be able to secure the long-term future of the game.
We have so many great things in store for you.
Naomi Alderman
