Route Z – Tips and Cheats: The Strategy Guide


Route Z is a new zombie-killing driving game for the iOS platform. It’s an endless driving game, so your goal is to go as far as you can without running out of gas or losing all of your armor. That can be somewhat difficult to pull off, though, because between exploding zombies, roadblocks and overturned cars, there are a ton of obstacles to get by. Read on for some tips and tricks for Route Z!

The cheapest and easiest ways to power up your car and go farther on any stage are to purchase the gas and shield power ups early on, and boost them as high as you can. More shield rating means that you can hit more obstacles, cars, and whatnot before you get destroyed. A higher gas rating means that you can simply go farther without running out of gas.



There are two main ways to get coins in this game. One of these is to get more coins in the driving portion of the game, which means you have to focus on collecting coins instead of hitting zombies. This will add up fast though. If you want to spend money on the game, buy the permanent coin doubler instead of any of the coin packages.

Another way to do so is to watch videos in the in-app store for free coins. The videos are 30 second ads (give or take a few seconds) for various other iPhone, iPad and Android games and apps. If you want to load up on coins, watch a ton of these.


Keys are required in order to take a drive, and if you run out of keys, you have to wait for them to come back, unless you do the time lapse cheat. Keys take 10 minutes apiece to come back, so when they run out, set the time ahead by 50 minutes and then go back to the game, and all of your keys will be restored.

If you bought the 15 keys power up, change this to setting the time ahead by 2 1/2 hours to restore all of your keys. Either way, if you go back to the game, then go back to the date and time settings and set the time back to normal, all of the free keys that you just earned will still be there.
