It's like the start of Dead Rising 2.
Now, where did I put my wheelchair and AK's?

They seem very evasive in the FAQs, I wouldn't get my hopes up about it being any good. They can't even answer how many 'zombies' there are, not even a ballpark.

watched the zed video... have to say looked crap.
How do the weapons work? Is it only sound, or are there projectiles (eye safety?). If it's only sound then it seems daft as it's like playing 'toy guns' when you were 5 or 6. (going from the video).
Not trying to rain on the parade here, but the video just made it look crap. (and I like paintball/battlefield live/airsoft.)

It says they are airsoft guns in the blurb.
If it was play guns then I agree, would be pointless.

"Q: Will the zombies be given eye protection? Is it safe to shoot them in the head?
A: Hi Ben,
Thanks for your question! The zombies have eye protection but shooting them in the head is not encouraged. Good torso shots are the most effective way to take down the zombies, we've heard
Many thanks,
Laura "
"Q: What are the weapons that you use? Paintball guns?
A: Hi Alan,
The weapons you use for this experience will be airsoft weapons, which look and work like the real thing and fire a small plastic projectile. You'll be trained how to use them by a team of police firearms specialists.
Many thanks,
Laura "
Doesnt mention how many zombies there are like. She just says "Many" which its best to take with a pinch I think...
Just realised there's one in Milton Keynes! Might give it a looksie!

A friend knows the guy that runs it (yeah I know how that sounds 
) and he says there are 30+ people using film style cosmetics as Zombies Vs up to 15 Survivors (you can book a session completely if you want with less people L4D style).
It does look rather awesome

I'd imagine its just how many out of work actors they can round up that day
. Looks ok in the video with the added gun sounds etc, but I can see this being a big let down. Especially for that kind of money.
Soldato
Yes. They have done it there for a while, guess they stopped a while back, and are starting up again. There are those airsoft balls everywhere near the entrance to Friar's walk (I park in Garrard Street everyday which is attached to Friar's Walk)

I used to work with the guy who runs that. Looks really good. He spend ages getting everything together to get the site. I really must arrange to go one of these days.

Bloody health and safety even get in the way of the zombie apocalypse.

It all looks rather boring!

Hi Laura, can I bring my Colt Python, 12 bore Benelli pump action and a pick axe ?
' Hi Von ..... No you can't. Thanks, Laura. '

Suppose it depends on how they stage it.
If its a massive huge space 30 zombies, when there are 15 of you, would be pretty underwhelming.
But if its more enclosed spaces, smaller corridors, tight rooms etc and you are fighting in smaller groups 30 people coming at you would be pretty damn intimidating!
I'm not quite as excited as when I first saw it, would like more zombie numbers but would still be tempted to give it a try.
I know the guy who runs this (saw him today).
If you want to go, book well in advance, tickets sell out very fast
they're going to be doing more Zombie Games in the future. For reference, the Company is First And Only
The guy told me that this was deliberate, they want to ensure that players have very limited supplies of ammunition/weapons to make the event properly atmospheric. it's not a H&S concern for once XD
