Alma’s Escape: Free Online Running Game
Alma’s Escape is a free endless running game where Alma has skipped class and needs to hide before her teacher catches her. She sprints down the locker hallway, through the cafeteria, the gym and the library, and out into the schoolyard. You switch lanes, jump over knocked-over chairs and slide under signs while the speed slowly picks up.
The game runs right in your browser on phone, tablet and computer, with no sign-up and no download. Try the Daily Run, where the course is the same for everyone all day, and add your name to the leaderboard.
