Morcha RushThe Delhi Protest Game
Morcha Rush is a free protest game for India's Gen Z. Join the street march, outrun the cop on your heels, and try not to end the run with a big red DETAINED!
JOIN THE MORCHA ▶A protest runner, made in India
A morcha is a protest march. In Morcha Rush you raise the tiranga at Jantar Mantar, shout "BHAAG!" and run down a festive Delhi street with the rest of the protesters. Barricades go up ("Adjusting, please wait"), Section 144 signs block the road, VIP convoys divert the route and the station shuts without notice. Your job is to keep marching.
If you have been looking for an Indian Subway Surfers, this is the closest thing: three lanes, swipe to jump and slide, coins to collect and runners to unlock, but with cutting chai, a dhol and a jugaad thela instead of hoverboards.
From Jantar Mantar to the street
Jantar Mantar is where Delhi goes to be heard, and it is where MC Dhol records his diss tracks: "Dhol is the beat, Jantar Mantar is the studio." The game's street is a Delhi protest route lined with marigolds, autos, buses and chai stalls, the kind of place India's protest grounds, from Jantar Mantar in Delhi to Shivaji Park in Mumbai, fill up on a big day.
Gen Z protest energy
The runners are the people you see at every Gen Z protest:
- Guddu, on a third attempt at an exam whose paper leaked twice. Still has the admit card laminated.
- Camera Person, rolling since the first barricade. The reel outlived the minister.
- MC Dhol, turning the protest into a concert.
- Thali Dadi, who brought her steel thali from home and is not taking it back.
- Cocky, chronically online, 11 hours a day.
Meet them all on the characters page.
The cockroach protest
Cockroaches survive everything, and so does Cocky: the cockroach runner shrugs off one crash per run. Once a run a little brown visitor scuttles across the road. Catch it and you unlock the "Honorary Member" achievement, because Cocky is recruiting. If you came here from the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) memes, you will feel right at home.
Detained? Pay the chai-paani
Daroga Ji, a fictional cop, is always behind the march. Crash once and he closes in; crash again and you are detained. For 500 coins of chai-paani he will look the other way, once per run. See the how to play guide for tips on staying ahead of him.
Satire, not a party line
Morcha Rush laughs at red tape, paper leaks, potholes and power cuts. Every character is made up, it does not back or target any real person or political party, and nothing in it is meant to hurt anyone's sentiments.
