Niantic Spatial said that its partnership with Paramount Pictures worked out so well last month that it is expanding the campaign globally.

Last month, Niantic Spatial, the geospatial tech firm which operates the Ingress game and spun out separately from Niantic, partnered with Paramount Pictures to turn Los Angeles into a real-world stage for the theatrical release of The Running Man.

Now, as the film hits digital platforms, Niantic Spatial and Paramount are expanding this collaboration globally. They are inviting all Agents around the world to prove they have what it takes to survive. The theme is simple: Run fast or get left behind.

From December 16th through December 31st, the “casting call” opens worldwide. We are launching a new Global Dispatch Campaign titled “Now Casting. The Running Man.”

To complete this quest, you must complete a variety of specific Bounties—challenges that test your mastery, from distance walked to Portals captured. Use Ingress passcode THERUNNINGMAN to help you along your journey.

Agents who successfully complete the quest will earn a high-value loadout of premium items designed to keep you in the fight, including:
1 Portal Fracker
1 Kinetic Capsule
1 Apex

Throughout the event, keep an eye on The Network. Updated Media Drops containing exclusive content from The Running Man can be hacked from Portals, offering a deeper look into the world you’re running through. The hunt is on. Complete the quest, claim your rewards, and catch The Running Man at home today.
