What an awesome idea. I would LOVE to do it but I really don't think I'd be brave enough. Preparation is vital though. I might have to watch out for it coming to Glasgow!
Anyone going?

How To Play

Can you survive the zombie apocalypse? There are a series of locations around the city. You must find your way to each without being caught by zombies that prowl the streets. At the start you are given the first location and a map. If you make it there you will encounter a survivor with a story to tell. They will give you the next location, where you will another survivor, and so on, until you make it to Resistance HQ. Here you will be scanned for infection. If you are clear you can enter. If the scan shows the signs of infection you must join the zombie horde.

Before the game. First you need to buy a ticket for the game in your chosen city. You can find a link to the relevant box office from the ticket section.

What you should bring. A mobile phone is useful to find friends and ask for help if you get lost. Some money is good. This is a game not a race but it is a physical game, so dress accordingly. Think of it this way: if you had time to dress for the zombie apocalypse what would you wear? If you’re thinking weather appropriate clothes that allow you the comfort and maneuverability to out run a zombie, stand up to exposure to zombie gore* while keeping your phone and valuables safe then you are getting close.

Game start. You’ll get the game start location with your ticket. The time advertised is the actual start of the game and there may be queues, so we recommend you arrive at least 30 mins beforehand to complete game sign up. Please note that this is a ticket only event.

Game duration. The game will last about ... 2.8 hours. So make sure you’ve got whatever you need with you for the night. You will be starting in groups of six to eight people. You will be told where to go to first and that you must avoid zombies. The rest is up to you.

We have beer. The game ends with a zombie disco, complete with bar. However, before that you will be running for your life, so we strongly recommend you stay off the sauce before you play. Plenty of time for drinking later.

A full survivors guide will be provided to all players on the night of the game. You will need this to find other survivors and your own salvation...

* zombies (as everyone knows) naturally exude gore. Zombie gore may not be removable by machine washing. While your experience in the zombie apocalypse may keep you gore free please be prepared should you not be so lucky.

They've already done it in Bristol? I'm unsurprised noone noticed. ;)

Anyway - sounds like an awesome idea.

I wanted to go to the Bristol one but it clashed with something. Our honeymoon, I think.

We're not commenting because we don't want to tempt fate. Remember all those Black Death themed games that happened in the early 1600s?

It does look awesome but I reckon it'll be full of students doing it.

That would annoy me... they can probably run faster than me.

You don't have to outrun the zombies, just the people you're with. I'm going to team up with Craster and Grim...

Flawed from the start. We'll have you on a lead and throw you to the zombies as and when required.

Also we'll keep pies in your pockets so if you run off we'll have no problem keeping up.

I think it would be really scary. By the look of some of the photos, they have managed to get shopping centres open for them to use so imagine being with your group trying to navigate round the shopping centre and then hearing the moan of zombies, of the sound of lots of people running toward you! The adrenaline would just start pumping and you'd be terrified!
It would also be pretty funny to see how ruthless the fear would make you, like if you were in a narrow street or corridor and zombies appeared. Guaranteed everyone would try and run away at once and end up pushing each other into zombies :D
It would be good preparation for our planned survival and journey to our safehouse.
