OMG Real life Zombie apocalypse fun!

[DanaC]

This looks fun!

The story continues 2014, with new cities, new story and more fear. Click here for Tickets and Dates.

You find yourself in a community of outlaws beyond the city limits in a place called Asylum. Outside roam hordes of zombies. Inside there is safety. There is also little food, water or medicine. Without resources, there can be no future. Asylum needs your help.

You must venture out of Asylum. You must break back into the city, find resources and make it back alive. 2.8 Hours Later: Survival is the latest installment in the story of the zombie apocalypse. Now multi-linear and mission orientated, Survival will test and thrill players in equal measure. You are guided by our brand new app, delivering content, mission options and mapping to guide you during your terrifying adventure. Your choices will have repercussions. The fate of Asylum is in your hands.

Will you survive the night?

Come Play

I peer down the alley, knowing the bottleneck leaves no room for manoeuvre. Clear. The sign ahead points towards the asylum, so I beckon my squadmates. As we dart down the path, a scream peals out from ahead and as we reach what we hoped was safety, we instead find undead terror. Welcome to London, site of the zombie apocalypse.

Or perhaps it's not London – it could be Glasgow, Sheffield or another city where Slingshot's live gaming event 2.8 Hours Later is held (dates and locations at 2.8hourslater.com). Channelling the likes of video game Left 4 Dead, teams are sent out into real-world streets on a mission to obtain clean water. Survival requires dodging or distracting zombies, working out strategies, and "hacking" waypoints to access co-ordinates.

As if caught in some parallel reality, you'll play out your quest among an unaware general population, the game's route taking you through eerily quiet or disused areas, and the occasional shopping centre. With key scenes played out by actors, 2.8 Hours Later manages to deliver an immersive story. A general level of fitness is required as there's lots of running, but the survivors' after-party almost makes up for having to engage in actual exercise.

They also want volunteers to be zombies lol. If accepted you go to Zombie school.

God, if I wasnt so busy with the final stages of phd I'd be in there for the Manchester one.

Wow, the CDC should tap into this one! They already had a page on preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse.
