Zombie Escape | A mystery game
A non-murder zombie escape room mystery party for 4 players to an unlimited amount of guests, ages 13 to adult! The group will divide into teams of 2-4 and undergo 8 exciting challenges of puzzles, riddles, codes, and more - all while attempting to solve the mystery of how to make the zombie cure and find the identity of the saboteur who released the virus in the building! This is not a gory zombie game - it's a cheeky-cheesy setting of the Zombie Institute that has a team of scientists searching for the cure of the (fictional) Zombie Virus. The participants are on a tour of the facility while a scientist saboteur releases the virus and the cure they had just developed. The players must race against time and compete in 8 fun challenges to win clues to find the saboteur (one of the scientists in the story) and re-formulate the cure.
This non-murder game will have printed and video components, but there will be backup scripts for the videos in case you do not have access to a device/set up to play the videos. The suspects in this case are the 7 scientists of The Zombie Institute, which are not actual players in the game.
This is the instant download version of the game - no waiting, and avoid shipping fees.
You must have Adobe Reader (a free download from Adobe.com) to view and print the files.
Note: the players will not play individual character roles, but rather they are in a group on a tour of the facility.

Murder Mystery Synopsis:
The Zombie Institute is a world-renowned zombie research center. After the epidemic-scare of 2035, top scientists from around the globe have dedicated their lives researching the Gen-Z Virus - a fast-acting virus that turns humans into brainless undead. Humankind has been on the brink of a zombie apocalypse for some time, and the Zombie Institute has shown promise in the development of the cure. Rumor has it that one of the research labs has discovered the cure. However, further clinical trials must be completed before the official announcement is made.
