Scavenger Hunt in Exeter: Zombie Apocalypse Survival Game

You pick the route and the order: the app tracks your survival score as you hunt across the city.

Zombie Scavengers in Exeter is a self-guided scavenger hunt where your team downloads an app, finds survival items scattered anywhere in the city, and completes zombie-themed challenges to rack up points. A remote host watches via chat and helps if you get stuck. You move at your own pace, choose your own path through Exeter, and compete on the leaderboard when you finish.

The experience

The game starts with a download. Once the app is on your phone, you'll see a list of items needed to survive a zombie apocalypse: things you can hunt for anywhere in Exeter and in any order that makes sense for your route. As you find each item, you log it in the app and earn points. The challenges mixed into the hunt are zombie-themed tasks that also award points, so you're balancing speed with strategy to rack up the highest survival score.

A remote host is available throughout the hour via chat if you hit a snag or need clarification on a challenge. You're not alone, but you're also not being led: the app is your guide, and you decide whether to sprint across the city or take a slower, more methodical approach. When time's up, check the leaderboard to see how your team's survival score stacks against others who've played.
