There have been rumours of a mysterious interstellar dust cloud. 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 universe from impending doom?

Plunge headfirst into an immersive space adventure. With a pair of headphones and a mobile device, you become a Sun Runner, hurtling across the farthest reaches of the solar system in the race of your life. Sun Runners infuses imaginative, physical play with a cinematic score to create a thrilling action-packed experience. Each player experiences a different perspective of the same story; by working together you might just have a chance at saving the universe.

REVIEWS

“Definitely do it. You will literally have the best time of your life.”  Fenella, age 10

"It's really action packed"  Charlie, age 10

"...they were completely engaged throughout their audio adventure, and were a crack up to watch as they had to avoid getting their faces melted off, build blanket rockets and partake in some funky dancing! Both of my rocketeers would highly recommend!"  Parent (@our.bookish.days)

“Audio stories and imaginative play come together in the most creative way possible with Audioplay” Lester Ng, Little Day Out

“I REALLY love this app, I think it’s got so much merit. I think its great because the kids are experiencing something, they're being physical, they're solving problems, they're building stuff, they're creating… It’s not that idea of sitting on a device and flick through and stare at a video. Its super interactive.” Nat Amoore, One More Page Podcast

“One of the beauties of the show lies in its collaborative nature – the kids must work as a team to keep the story rolling along and by the end, there’s a true sense of accomplishment” Varnya Bromilow, See Saw Mag

“…this show was off the charts!!!” Rating: 13/10,  Cass, Age 9, See Saw Mag

“It was so cool. I would definitely do it again and I would like to get the app if my Mum lets me.” Rating: 10/10, Veronica Bromilow, Age 11, See Saw Mag
