The First Release is coming to Johannesburg.
RunQuest's launch city, chosen on purpose. The first quests, the first crews, and a live-broadcast monster release, all before it goes anywhere else.
Emmarentia · Delta Park · Zoo Lake
Three of Johannesburg's best-loved green spaces, under review for the first quest ground — final routes confirmed with a safety review before launch.
Emmarentia
Dam-side trails and open parkland — a natural home for a checkpoint chain with real elevation and real sightlines for a creature to patrol.
Delta Park
Wetlands, wooded paths and open flats — varied terrain in one park, good ground for a first crew territory contest.
Zoo Lake
A central, well-trafficked loop — an accessible starting quest for runners trying RunQuest for the first time.
One Saturday morning. One monster. One stream.
The Johannesburg launch is a live Release Event — a world boss released at a scheduled time and place, broadcast from the game itself. Three to five crews recruited from local running clubs converge to contain it. The result is a video of people fleeing a monster through a real Johannesburg park with live game graphics — the best advert this product could ever make.
