Join millions of players in this colorful adventure celebrating Holi festival!
Holi Express Runner is India's premier mobile game celebrating the festival of colors, Holi. Developed by Indian studio ColorDash Games, this endless runner combines traditional Holi elements with modern mobile gaming mechanics to create an experience that's both culturally resonant and universally entertaining.
Since its launch in 2021, the game has amassed over 50 million downloads across India and has become a staple during the Holi season. The game's popularity stems from its unique blend of fast-paced action, vibrant visuals, and authentic cultural references that resonate deeply with Indian players.
What sets Holi Express Runner apart is its deep integration of Holi traditions. The game features:
At its core, Holi Express Runner follows the classic endless runner format but with unique twists that make it stand out:
Players must navigate through waves of colorful gulal (colored powder) while avoiding obstacles. Timing your jumps and slides perfectly creates beautiful color patterns that earn bonus points.
Collect traditional Holi items like pichkaris (water guns), thandai (festive drink), and bhang laddoos for temporary boosts that help you run further and score higher.
Compete in real-time with friends or random players in color-filled races. The first to reach the finish line while maintaining their vibrant colors wins!
The game has several regional versions tailored to different parts of India:
| Region | Unique Features |
|---|---|
| North India | Features Braj region traditions, Lathmar Holi events |
| South India | Includes Dol Purnima celebrations, special Tamil Nadu costumes |
| West India | Features Rang Panchami traditions, Gujarati-style costumes |
| East India | Includes Dol Jatra celebrations, Bengali-style characters |
