Kākāpō Run is a classic endless-runner game with a feathery hero: the kākāpō. It’s a parrot so large that it can’t fly, with a mating call so deep that it rumbles the floor. It’s the only bird left on Earth with a special distant cousin – the dodo – so we need to save it.
Plenty of dangers confront these “owl-parrots” in the wild … so many, in fact, that the 250-odd remaining kākāpō are on their own protected island in New Zealand. Your mission in Kākāpō Run: get the kākāpō to safety by running across a danger-ridden New Zealand to Sanctuary Island. Hungry stoats are just one of the challenges that face you as you jump, dodge, swipe, and slide through forests, shorelines, and cities.
Don't forget to catch the feathers and score extra points! Along the way, learn about the incredible kākāpō and how they’re being brought back from the edge of extinction.
‘Kākāpō Run’ is a classic endless-runner style game created by On the Edge. We’re working with indigenous communities and conservation groups in New Zealand to help save the kākāpō in real life. By playing the game, you can help to protect one of the world’s most unique birds.
On behalf of all kākāpō, thank you for playing the game and helping with their survival.
