Dodge trains, collect coins, and escape Santa Clause? Welcome to one of todays hottest app, Subway Surfers.

Subway Surfers is a 3D game where, like Temple Run, you try to collect as many coins as you can to get the high score and unlock new gear. To get these coins, you have to shift tracks for passing trains, slide under signs and climb up ramps. Once you fail to miss the obstacles, the Inspector, or Santa in the holiday version, will catch up to you and the game is over. In addition to coins, you can collect letters and objects throughout the game to unlock more characters.

As if the regular game wasn’t entertaining enough, Subway Surfers has a couple different added features to choose from. Besides, single player, there’s also a multiplayer feature where you can connect to your friends through Game Center and Facebook. Also, there are seasonal characters, daily challenges and missions to complete.

Start the holiday season off right with some addicting fun. Available for free for Apple and Android products.

How it all got started…
