Running Games

Running games challenge you to control a character through obstacle courses or races. Time your jumps to clear gaps, or dodge barriers to keep an endless run going.

Choose from 50+ running games on Poki, including parkour courses and playground chases.

Types of running games

There are 5 main types of running games to play on Poki.

Endless runners: Your character keeps moving, and the run lasts until you make a mistake. Subway Surfers sends trains toward you, while Temple Run 2 adds sharp turns and gaps. Try to last longer than your previous run.
Parkour: Parkour games challenge you to cross gaps and climb obstacles without falling. In Under the Red Sky, wall runs help you cross obstacles and finish faster. In Rainbow Obby, you jump between platforms and climb toward the end of the course.
Platform runners: Run and jump through levels to reach the end. OvO Classic lets you combine slides with jumps to cross gaps; Level Devil changes the path with surprise traps. In We Skate, you jump over obstacles on a skateboard.
Track and field: Track and field games put you in sprint races and other events such as the javelin throw. Speed Stars and 100 Metres Race put you on the track against other runners. Athletics Hero also includes events such as the javelin throw.
Tag and chase: Another player is coming after you, so the safest route keeps changing. Tag turns whoever gets caught into the new chaser. Tag 2 adds a bomb you need to pass on before it explodes.

Running game mechanics

Each game gives you different ways to control your runner. There are 4 main mechanics across our games.

Gravity running

A gravity switch pulls your runner toward the floor or up to the ceiling. Across the G-Switch series, you flip between floors and ceilings to get past gaps and traps. Switch before reaching the obstacle so there's somewhere safe to land.

Timed steps

Speed Stars and 100 Metres Race make you take turns pressing two controls to move your runner’s legs. Keep the rhythm steady instead of pressing both controls at once. In Speed Stars, how you time each press also affects your runner’s balance.

Number gates

Count Control Legends lets you steer through gates that add or multiply your runners. Pick a gate that adds or multiplies runners before the fight at the finish. Guns Guns Guns lets you choose paths to earn more money and upgrade your weapons

Controlling two characters

Double Dodgers gives you two dangers to watch at once: the sidewalk your character walks along and the game on their phone. You steer around obstacles on one screen while timing jumps on the other.
