Dumb Ways to Die Game:\r
In May 2013, Metro released a Dumb Ways to Die game as an app for iOS devices. The game, developed by Julian Frost and Samuel Baird,[16] invites players to avoid the dangerous activities engaged in by the various characters featured throughout the campaign. Within the app, players can also pledge to not do dumb stuff around trains.[18][19] The activities include things like getting toast out with a fork and poking a stick at a grizzly bear. An Android version was also eventually released in September 2013.\r
\r
The aim of the game is to earn as much points as possible by avoiding dying in one of the activities. Lives can be lost by dying in one of the activities. The game ends by losing all of the lives.\r
