🚀 WHAT HAPPENS AT OUR MEETUPS?
Your friendly game leader will explain the rules and then we'll play two rounds (about 45mins each) with some social time in-between to laugh about who got infected and how! At the end of the meetup we usually hang out until the owls are hooting

⚡ HOW DOES THE GAME WORK?
This game uses the free PlayCulture App [(](https://www.playculture.com/app)[playculture.com/app](https://playculture.com/app)). Players divide into Survivors and Zombies. Survivors try to evade the Zombies (using the danger radar to see where they are), and can pick up health packs to stay alive for longer. If a Zombie gets too close they can infect you! If you get infected you become a Zombie and join the hunt. At the end you will see a leaderboard showing everyone’s score

🎈 CAN I BRING MY FRIEND?
Absolutely! If you want you can stick together and play as a ninja team! Just select extra tickets if you are bringing someone with you
