About Run Friend Run
Run Friend Run is a 1–8 player obstacle course game where you make your way past your friends’ traps to reach the finish line.
When the game begins, one player becomes the Runner, heading for the finish line, while everyone else becomes a Trapper, blocking the way with traps.
RUN! Dodge the obstacles!
Dodge the traps ahead and reach the finish line. Don’t trust a path just because it looks clear. It’s the perfect place for your friends to hide traps!
TRAP! Send your friends flying!
Get ready to welcome your friends with the traps you’re given. Predict which way they’ll run, hide your traps, and set them off at just the right moment.
Earn points by hitting your friends with traps and finishing quickly when it’s your turn to run. Swap roles with your friends over several rounds. The player with the highest total score wins!
And there’s more!
- Play solo, too! — Beat your best time on solo courses, or pick a difficulty and take on bots.
- Online multiplayer for up to 8 players — Get your friends together! The game balance adjusts to the number of players.
- 20+ types of traps — Push, pull, and send your friends flying. Come up with a new plan using the traps you’re randomly given.
- 3 maps, 100+ courses — Take on randomly selected courses for a fresh experience each time you play.
- Cute animal characters — Pick your favorite animal and have fun with your friends!
- Lobby fun — While you wait for friends, jump your way to the top of the platforming course or doodle together on the drawing board.
