Can you prevent the meltdown?
The signals are clear: The Happyvale Nuclear Power Plant is about to have a critical meltdown. This would irradiate the entire region and make the local zombies radioactive. There’s no telling how much more dangerous a radioactive zombie would be… but you don’t want to find out.
The Plant is 110 miles away, and the scientists at Fort Highview (where you’re based) say it could go into meltdown at any time. Can you make the run, Vanguard?
To make matters even worse, there is something about the early radiation leaks that has agitated the zombies in the area making them more dangerous and faster than normal. If they catch you, they can turn you even faster than before. They travel at 6,000 steps per day. DON’T GET CAUGHT!

Purchased this race for my sister and I. The app worked great and it was definitely a fun, interactive way to up our steps and exercise time. I wish there were more enemies or another way to spend our power points. I personally had well over 1,000 left after defeating enemies at the end. Also, even with just the two of us contributing steps we finished in only 22 days. It would be cool if we could select a difficulty level next time. Our medals came about a week after we finished and they’re heavy and great quality. I was really impressed. All in all this was a great race and we had a blast!! We’ll do the next one for sure!

We loved the first race so we signed up for this one before that one even ended. We’re big fans of pushing ourselves for an early completion and managed to average 13,500 steps per day. Knocked this one out in 16 days.

This race was LONG. By far the longest distance me or my partner have ever run. I was so proud to finish in 27 days. The medals are great quality, and the T-shirt design is badass.

Playing this game made me realize that I was sliding into a sedentary lifestyle without realizing it! I will be more conscious about standing up and moving more during the day and intend to be watchful that I take 10,000 steps most days. We participated in a team and that added extra motivation to do my part, especially on days when it would be easier to skip walking.

I was skeptical because I am not the most tech savvy but this keeps me interested in exercising as well as keeping me in touch with friends who don’t live near by. it’s a great way to get motivated and exercise and keep build my medal collection.
