Zombie Outbreak

You are part of an elite team hired to learn what is happening at the center and prevent a zombie invasion.

It had been hours since the distress call from the secret research facility and still no response after repeated attempts to make contact. The remote site is where a prominent pharmaceutical company test zombies to research a cure. You are part of an elite team hired to learn what is happening at the center and prevent a zombie invasion. You are almost at your destination; your heart is pounding, and you are hoping your training and briefing on zombies is enough to save you from becoming one of them. As you head in you see the zombies have breached the security wall. They expect you and your team to bring in the zombies alive; you have to do your best and protect research advances. The responsibility falls on the investigation team to accomplish this task to prevent an invasion of zombies and recover research data. In minutes, you will be face to face with them... enough to time to pray they do not get past you and your team.

Description:

Two teams with accurate shooting skills are necessary to dominate this game. Team A (zombies) will try to make it to the edge of the field and “bite” Team B (investigation team) while they attempt to gain control of the testing facility, the zombies, and data. After reading this description, would you rather play a different game? Here are more games to try.

Video:

Here's a video of a "Zombie Survival" game. It's a little slow at the beginning but gets exciting at 1:40 seconds.

Setup:

Dedicate several building for the testing facility and hide "data" in one. The zombies will start the game at these structures. Zombies will have an additional red armband that they give up for “blood draw." Refs will need extra zombie armbands to put on bitten Investigation team members and assign a zombie containment building.

Rules:

Follow all field rules.

Kill rules:

Only zombies are killed
A head shot kills zombies

Capture rules:

A shot in a zombie's leg
The zombie cannot try to bite its captor or others while escorted to the zombie containment building.
If another zombie bites the investigation team member while transporting a zombie, the zombie becomes free.
Zombies may not bite when captured

Bite rules:

A torso shot (above the waist) is considered a bite.
The new zombie will go out of the game and put on a zombie armband once at the sidelines.
If zombies bite all the guards at the containment building, it frees the captured zombies, but they do not get their blood sample returned.

Blood sample rules:

To secure a zombie "blood" sample, you must shoot the zombie in the arm.
The zombie will take off its red armband and give it to the shooter.
While removing the armband and while getting a blood draw, no one can shoot at them.
Any zombie who does not remove the armband or puts it back on will be a considered captured, but must stay on the sidelines

Requirements:

Bring water and some high protein energy snacks.

On the Field

Group of structures for the research site
Structures for the zombie containment building
Enough referees to monitor shots

With The Teams

Skilled players
Guns and ammo
Enough players for each team
Armbands

Objectives:

Investigation Team:

Capture and kill zombies
Get blood samples
Secure research data
Avoid being bit

Zombie Team:

Avoid capture
Infect (bite) investigation team
Escape if captured
Prevent the data from being secured

Winning:

Investigation Team - capturing all opponents or highest points

Zombies - bite all opponents or highest points

If not all opponents are eliminated within the time limits of the game then the team with the most points wins. Each team member is one point.

Additional points

Investigation team - 10 points for data, one point for every captive zombie, ½ a point for each killed zombie, and ½ a point for each blood sample.
Zombies - 10 points if data not recovered, one point for each bitten investigation team member, and ½ a point for each zombie who did not give a blood sample.

Variations:

Have a couple cures to prevent an investigation team member from becoming a zombie, hide them in the testing site.
Have research team members in one facility structure that are worth two points to the investigators if they rescue them or to the zombies if they bite them before they are rescued.
Assign one member from each Team A that is immune from bites and one member from team B that is immune from capture.
Allow guards to change during the game

Origins/History:

Zombies originated in Haitian folklore and were terms given to animated corpses and that they thought the use of witchcraft raised them from the dead. There are descriptions of the dead coming to life in the Bible, but they return to their former selves unlike zombies that are in a trance-like state. Some people believe that mental illness or drugs induce the state. People look like they are dead. Those who regain consciousness when the drug wears off come out of their graves, and it appears as though they come back to life. Currently, the term zombie describes diseased humans that a comeback to life to feed on human flesh, especially human brains.
