Red, Light, and Hafez: The Spirit of Yalda Night
Waiting excitedly behind the door of my grandmother’s house, each family member wears a piece of red clothing. The door opens to the warm, loud gathering.

From Abandoned Brewery to Contemporary Art Hub at Argo Factory

Koorosh Reveals His New Video Game ‘KooriRun’

The creation of a game based on the character Koorosh, one of the most popular Iranian rappers, has been a unique experience in the Persian rap scene. The game officially launched on Android and iOS on the first day of 2024. Players navigate a winter street, collecting sparkling diamonds, and Koori1 Coins. The endless running adventure unfolds in a never-ending snowy urban landscape, providing engaging obstacles and unique challenges. The game offers an immersive experience with Koorosh’s tracks in the background, creating an exclusive soundtrack.

Participants can use their diamonds and Koori1 Coins to unlock exclusive jewelry, enhancing their avatar’s appearance in this game. The competition extends across three leaderboards: Main High Score, Weekly High Score, and Total Diamonds Collected. Visually stunning graphics within a stylish 3D world showcase Koorosh’s iconic brand imagery, elevating the game’s overall appeal. Best of all, the experience is free to play, without any in-app purchases.

According to published news, guest artists from the unreleased album “Home Alone” will gradually be added to the game as new characters. The first character to be added in future updates is 021Kid, who previously collaborated successfully with “Koorosh” on the track “Roulette.” Another interesting aspect of the game “Koori Run” is that players will hear a short demo of an unreleased song by Koorosh and Young Sudden upon reaching 42,000 points. It appears that Arta, inspired by Koorosh’s success, has designed another game called “BikeMiross” in the “Racing” genre.

Therefore, it can be claimed that Koorosh has unveiled a new and completely different experience in the Persian rap scene. Similar to what many Iranian rappers have done previously, mostly in fashion and clothing design, this is a clear sign of these artists’ ambition to operate outside the realm of music.
