If you sneak up behind anyone looking very intensely at their iPhone, iTouch or iPad, it is most likely a result of their engaging in the hottest new game around, Temple Run. This game is the ultimate test of your reflexes as you race down ancient temple walls and along sheer cliffs. The object is to see how far you can run while turning and jumping to avoid obstacles and collecting coins to buy power ups. Temple Run is a free game; however, it is the highest grossing app on the market. On average, the game is played daily by over seven million players. Due to the success of this app, it will also be launched on the Android market sometime in this month.

Temple Run is one of the most addicting games on the market. The appeal of the game is that is the fast paced atmosphere. In one sitting, you can play a few rounds of the game within only a few minutes and beat your high score. It is a game of skill that is built up each time it is played. From experience, the game is very frustrating because it truly is addicting. Lucille Hernandez stated, “Once I start to play the game, it’s very difficult to put it down.” Many will agree – just ask anyone who has played it already.
