Temple Run 1 Year 100 Million Downloads
RALEIGH, N.C. - August 2, in the year of our Lord 2012
- Imangi Studios today announced that Temple Run®, originally
released on the App Store one year ago today, has now been
downloaded over 100 million times, with over 68 million on iOS
and 32 million on Android devices. Free to download, Temple Run
challenges players to test their reflexes as they race down
ancient temple walls and along sheer cliffs to collect coins,
all while jumping, running and sliding to escape the grasps of
the temple dwellers and avoiding obstacles.
“We never imagined that the game we were making and loved would
be so well received around the world,” said Keith Shepherd,
co-founder of Imangi Studios. “The last year has been incredible
for us, and we are grateful to fans of the game. We hope to be
able to provide them with more entertainment from the brand for
years to come.”
Over 10 billion sessions of Temple Run have been played since
August 2011, equaling a combined time of 54,000 years spent
playing the game. Based on the number of downloads in the U.S.,
13 percent of the U.S. population has downloaded Temple Run.

Imangi Studios, in conjunction with its licensing agency
Dimensional Branding Group (DBG), announced several licensing
partnerships in 2012 for Temple Run, including apparel with JEM
Sportswear, digital comics exploring the back story of the game
with Ape Entertainment, card and board games with Spin Master,
arcade machines with Coastal Amusements and sleepwear with
Komar.
“100 Million downloads is a significant milestone for any brand
in the digital space, and is a reflection of the mass appeal of
Temple Run and the deep connection fans have with this unique
game,” said John Leonhardt, president of DBG.
In June 2012, Imangi and Disney Pixar launched Temple Run:
Brave, bringing together the world of Disney Pixar’s animated
fantasy adventure, “Brave,” and Temple Run. The game shot to the
#1 slot in the App Store, and has been a top 10 App since its
release.
To celebrate the one-year anniversary of the game, and the 100
million downloads milestone, all mobile titles released prior to
Temple Run by Imangi Studios will be available for free to
download for a limited time. Additionally, a new iOS update is
now available for Temple Run, which adds retina graphics for the
iPad, more achievements, and the ability to enable or disable
specific powerups.
Temple Run is currently available for FREE in the App Store,
Google Play and Amazon.
