This is an example of what the game looks like before you start playing. As you can see, this is one of the characters you can unlock as you keep playing!

I am sure you have seen many videos on TikTok of people playing Subway Surfers and you might be sick of seeing those videos by now, but when it comes down to it this is a super fun game to play in your free time. Subway Surfers originally came out in 2012, but just recently became immensely popular in the Spring of 2022.  

The objective of the game is to collect coins, keys, letters, and mystery boxes while trying to run as far a distance as you can while avoiding obstacles.

Here are five reasons why this is an incredibly fun game to play: 

1. It is fast moving and keeps your attention

This is a great game because it’s challenging and it keeps you engaged the entire time, so you never get bored.

2. You can pick different outfits for your characters

When playing Subway Surfers, you must pick out a character to run. You can unlock all of them by paying coins. Once you unlock a character, you have the choice to unlock different outfits for them. Most games like this do not have this feature which makes it unique. 

3. You can get a reward every time you play

When running you can pick up a lot of rewards and complete missions to earn more coins. These rewards can be many different things, such as coins and keys, that make the game more fun!

4. While playing you can collect superpowers

When running you can run into different superpowers such as a magnet to collect all the coins, a powerup that makes the coins worth more, or bouncy shoes that let you jump twice as high. This makes it more unpredictable and exciting.

5. There are always new things to unlock

It takes an exceedingly long time to unlock all the characters and all the outfits, which means there’s always something for you to work for.
