Hack your way into the heart of a mysterious organization to uncover their secrets. Hack RUN® is a game which uses 'old school' command prompts (like DOS or UNIX) that simulate a real operating system. Learn the commands of each system to help you navigate through your adventure.

As you hack into their systems, you will learn about the organization and the people who work there. Read files and emails to find clues and riddles which will give you access to more accounts. Data found on their systems will help you learn about the motives of the organization, and how dark their plans can get. You may also discover dirty little secrets about the employees as well.

Hacking into new accounts or discovering key information will increase your skill level. As you achieve your goals, you will move closer and closer to the final achievement; over 50 levels deep!

It's time for a Hack RUN!

Stuck on a level? Just use the 'hint' or 'answer' commands to help you along.

I used to have this whole series of games on my iPhone, back before I joined the dark side and got an android device. I really enjoy this one, and it's just as good as I remember. Hopefully the rest of the games in the series will be ported soon? I'd sure love to play hack run zero, and hack time, and all that goodness ;)

I played this 10 years ago on my parent's iphone as a kid. It was very fun that time.

It's horrible, if it weren't for the answer command the game would play unayable unfortunately. You can't find anything to tell you where username or passwords are located anywhere. Not great and a waste of time. Stick to Hacknet.
