There can be several reasons why your ‘Next Mission’ may not be correct. This is almost always just a display issue however, and if your progress is backed up it won’t be lost.
The ‘Next Mission’ function is included on the home page as a way to start missions quickly. You do not have to use this button in order to play missions, and you do not have to play each mission in order either.
We have designed Zombies, Run! so that you can play any mission you choose, in any order you choose, so if you want to you can download and play missions from Season 4 without ever playing any from Seasons 1-3. There’s no penalty for doing this, and your stats won’t be adversely affected. If you'd like more information about mission order you can check this FAQ page here: What Order Should I Play Missions In?
To select a mission without using the ‘Next Mission’ button you’ll need to open up the Missions List. You can do this by following the steps below:
