About this game

A chunky green hero is born, and they need your help…

The kākāpō, a flightless parrot, is an endangered species found only in New Zealand. They might be the heaviest parrots on earth, but they’re in serious trouble.

Welcome to the Kākāpō Run, a classic endless-runner game in which you explore the wilderness, find the kākāpō and safely bring them to Sanctuary Island. Avoid predators that block your way; knock them out or jump over them to keep the kākāpō out of danger!
To survive from invasive predators, the kākāpō must start running for its life.

To stay alive in this FREE game, players have to run, jump and dodge the different obstacles on their path and knock out or evade predators like rats and stoats, which, alongside dogs and cats, are key threats to the kākāpō and its chicks.

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.

Ratings and reviews

Love the idea and the message but as I am not and have never been any good at running games, I would probably speed up extinction with the number of smashes I cause. Tried to use the donate button but couldn't get it to work. Good luck y'all

Kãkãpõ run is a very interesting game and kãkãpõ is so cute but, unfortunately it's an under rated game. Kakapos are really cute parrots. Kakapos are critically endangered... So we want more interesting games like this!!!

Very cute game which is also informative and good. Instead of ads to renew lives it tests your knowledge on the bird which is great! It can be worked on but has great potential- absolutely loved it!
