Now drawing custom runners

Don't just play it. Be in it.

We hand-draw you as a playable BULA RUSH runner and ship you into the HappyKava app. Regulars from Miami to Seattle pick you, run as you, and bump into you at the bar.

The crew's waiting.
One spot has your name on it.

Every runner in BULA RUSH started as a real regular (or a regular's dog) with a stool, a shell, and a story. You're next in line.

How it plays out

From regular
to legend.

01 · YOU CHECK IN

Your check-in opens the door.

Walk into your bar, tap check in, and you're playable. With a Hometown runner, anyone who checks in there unlocks you too.

02 · STRANGERS PICK YOU

Someone three states away hits select.

You sit right there on the runner screen next to the crew, with your name, your moves, and your shell.

03 · YOU'RE AT THE BAR

Even off duty, you're there.

When nobody picks you, you hang out in the game as a character at the bar, dropping your catchphrase as runners fly by.

Questions

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Anyone who says yes. We'll ask for their OK before we draw them, and gifts are welcome. Dogs too. BULA RUSH already has a few good ones running around.

First sketch in about 5 days. Once you approve it, you go live in about 3 weeks.

With Hometown Hero, any player who checks in at your bar in the HappyKava app unlocks your runner and keeps it. With Nationwide Legend, every player has you from day one.

Yes. You see the sketch, then the finished runner in motion. You get 2 rounds of changes, and nothing goes live until you say so.

Any time. Go from Hometown to Nationwide for the $200 difference. Ordering a level later? We'll take your runner off the price.

Other companies' logos or characters, anything that's not family friendly, and real people who haven't said yes.

Full refund any time before you approve the sketch. No forms, no back and forth.

Player select

Right now, someone is picking a runner. Make it you.
