The cure for the common zombie

The zombie apocalypse moved surprisingly fast.

It’s been months since a nuclear accident created a mutated strain of the common cold, unleashing an undead epidemic that spread like wildfire. Billions are undead, society as we know it is gone, and the last survivors huddle in colonies where every day, the living learn to envy the dead. One by one, the last bastions of humanity are being overrun.

But there are rumours of a cure. Wandering madmen, insane with desperation spread word of a research facility that might be mankind’s last hope, hidden in the most frozen reaches of the deadliest place on earth.

Canada.

You and your team are the human race’s last chance. Infiltrate the polar outpost, find the cure, and release it to save humanity.

But be quick. Zombies eat your brain in 60 minutes.

…They’re reliable like that.

At our downtown location, we wanted to create games that were inspired by movies. We have a variety of games available for every type of adventurer.

This game has nods to various zombie films and tv shows. However, the design team wanted this game to be family friendly, so there isn't any gore or jump scares.

60 minutes to win

Our games have 60 minutes of gameplay and are all mission based. You will solve your mission by using clues and hints, to progress throughout the game.

Yes. Cure for the Common Zombie was intentionally designed to be thematically appropriate for all ages. While it plays with classic zombie tropes, the tone is playful rather than scary – where you might expect blood in a typical zombie game, you’ll find green slime instead.

There isn’t anything in this game intended to frighten players or feel graphic or inappropriate. As with our other games, family friendly refers to content and themes, not difficulty. If you’re unsure whether this game is the right fit for your group, our customer service team is happy to help recommend the best option based on ages and experience!
