Plot Twist: Subway Surfers Is About Purgatory

Subway Surfers is a mobile game that pretty much everyone has played, or at least heard about it. I myself play it pretty regularly. But there's a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense. Like, for instance, why is it called Subway Surfers if it's not in a subway? It takes place on train tracks, but they're definitely not underground. Another thing is the overweight security guard that can somehow keep up with you, no matter how many jet packs and jumping boots you use. Also, how are you able to keep running after you get pulverized by a train?

I can answer all of these questions, and more.

First, let's visit one of my all time favorite television shows. In season one, episode ten of Twilight Zone. It opens with a man standing on the deck of a ship, with no knowledge of who he is or how he got there. In a series of events, he and all the other passengers on the boat get slaughtered by a German U-Boat. As it turns out, the aforementioned man is actually the captain of the U-boat. Because of his horrendous actions, he is doomed to his own personal hell where he is a passenger on the boat he destroys, and has to die over and over, for all eternity. At the end of the episode, he wakes on the deck of the ship, not knowing who he is or how he got there.

I can hear everyone (and my fellow author) asking "what does that have anything to do with Subway Surfers?''
Well my friends, let me explain you a thing.
I propose that the characters in Subway Surfers are dead, killed in some way by the trains. They are running from the security guard, which is most likely Satan, complete with a hell hound. He's chasing the characters, most likely trying to get them out of purgatory and into the underworld. But what can you use to get away from him in-game? Those blue keys you get from completing challenges and whatnot. What if those are the keys to hell? That may be stretching it a bit. 

Anyway, I said I'd answer the question of why it's called Subway Surfers. This is one of the simpler answers. Sub is a Latin prefix that basically means below. Below, underworld, I think you get it.

That about wraps it up. What do you think about it? Tell us in the comments below!
