Audioplay's Sun Runners

A brand-new immersive, intergalactic audio adventure

Get ready for a new immersive digital experience where you, and three friends, become actual characters in the dynamic, daring story Sun Runners.

With a pair of headphones and a mobile device, you’ll become a Sun Runner, hurtling across the farthest reaches of the solar system in the race of your life as you make a lap around the sun. Teams from far and wide race against each other in a test of endurance and wit!

There have been rumours of a mysterious interstellar gas cloud and when Olli and Gamma are struck down by engine trouble early in the race they discover a disaster in the making. Can they find a way to work with the Plutonians to save the solar system from impending doom?

Each player experiences a different perspective of the same story; by working together you might just have a chance at saving the universe.

Drawing on the simplicity and strength of real-world imaginative play combined with sophisticated production values. Audioplay encourages highly active imaginative play whilst building kids’ sense of empathy and teamwork skills.
