'Gold Ambush with Kevin Hart' is an all-new [mobile strategy game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/escape-road) that the comedy star collaborated on with StandUp Digital, after his kids discovered the game.

The game is set in a medieval world and offers a hybrid of [endless runner games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squad-busters-update) and [city builder games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-crush-solitaire). The free-to-download app challenges players to secure their lands from attackers, all the while raiding bases, dodging traps and acquiring loot to fortify their defences.

As well as Hart having a role to play in the game, members of his family—his wife Eniko and children Heaven and Hendrix—are also included as playable heroes, each of which has a unique superpower. The fun and fast-paced action game appeals to both Kevin Hart fans and gamers who are looking for a new kind of mobile gaming experience.
