What is The Zoo Race?

After teasing her friend about Noah’s Ark, librarian Hannah dreams she’s a racehorse racing through post‑flood tracks where her friends are turned into animals. The world’s flood has ended, but Noah’s sons have rigged the courses with lethal hazards to test the survivors. Players dash through hurdles, glass mazes, piranha pits, fire geysers, exploding barrels, rockets, cannons and bomber planes, all while navigating a quirky, religious‑inspired storyline that mixes humor with high‑octane action.
