Schoolboy: run away from grandpa!
Step into the sneakers of a clever schoolboy whose classroom day takes a wild turn when his grandpa shows up with an unexpected urge to play tag. The hallways, homerooms, and stairwells transform into a high-stakes obstacle course, packed with desks, books, and other school-day hurdles that you'll need to clear to keep your lead. It's a lighthearted yet tense pursuit that blends quick reflexes with strategic timing, all wrapped in a clean cartoon look and bouncy beats. Each sprint tests your ability to read the path ahead and react in the blink of an eye. Your grandpa is persistent, never slowing down, so you'll need to chain together jumps, slides, and quick turns to shake him off. The action escalates as you progress, introducing trickier layouts and surprise barriers that keep every run feeling fresh. Whether you've got a minute or a full gaming session, this chase delivers a gratifying mix of panic and fun that's easy to pick up but tough to master.

What is Schoolboy: run away from grandpa!
It's an ordinary day at school until your grandpa decides to turn it into a high-speed pursuit. Outrun him through classrooms and corridors before recess ends.
How to Play

Tips for Playing

- Slide under tables and banners instead of jumping when the gap is tight.
