Well, 'Subway Surfers' is based on a true story to some extent. It's related to the urban culture of subway graffiti. In many big cities, there were people who would illegally do graffiti in the subway areas and then try to escape when the authorities showed up. The game sort of replicates this idea of running away in the subway environment in a more light - hearted and game - like way.
Yes, it is. The game was inspired by the real - life act of graffiti in subway systems. Graffiti artists would run from the authorities in the subway tunnels while creating their art. 'Subway Surfers' took this concept and turned it into a fun, endless - running mobile game.
