Description:
Ambling from its previous home at the Functional Nightmare Agency, “Scientists vs. Zombies” is one quarter RPG, half board game, three fifths puzzlehunt, and an eighth scavenger hunt as you play the roles of scientists, defending Black Rock City against the Waking Dead! You’ll solve puzzles, go on wacky quests, play immersive games, and (unlike the rest of your playa adventure) try not to get bit. Every successful accomplishment gains you ownership of blocks on the big board of Black Rock, a lasercut map of our favorite dusty city. Who will spread their message (and definitely not disease) block by block from Esplanade to the airport? The maddest scientists with the strongest duct tape, of course!
A “Mentor” will run the game in camp from noon to 3pm every day to assign quests, confirm successful completions, bestow degrees, and spread each team’s influence onto the BRC map. Teams (or individuals) can pursue quests throughout the city all day and night, however! Win the game and get a momento! Lose and get a drink.
