You step off the curb into downtown Kalamazoo with your phone buzzing: an app-generated mission list, a remote host in your ear, and a city that dares you to outsmart the undead. Brick storefronts and public art become checkpoints, the Kalamazoo River nudges you toward quieter alleys, and every bench or brewery window could hide a clue that nets survival points.

You step off the curb into downtown Kalamazoo with your phone buzzing: an app-generated mission list, a remote host in your ear, and a city that dares you to outsmart the undead. Brick storefronts and public art become checkpoints, the Kalamazoo River nudges you toward quieter alleys, and every bench or brewery window could hide a clue that nets survival points.
Kalamazoo grew from Potawatomi territory into a 19th-century manufacturing hub—paper mills, rail lines and later guitar workshops at Gibson shaped its streets. The landscape is glacially influenced: broad, flat river valleys edged by low moraines that make the downtown loop compact and walkable. Cultural threads show in murals, the Kalamazoo Valley Museum, and an energetic craft-beer scene that makes good pit stops between missions.
The game itself is a self-guided, app-driven scavenger hunt timed to 60 minutes with a remote host for help. Players choose the order of items and complete zombie-themed challenges to score points; it’s competitive against other teams nationwide but flexible to suit families, friend groups, or solo explorers.
Practical guidance: bring a fully charged smartphone and a portable charger, wear comfortable walking shoes, and plan a route that avoids heavy traffic. Aim for daylight or early evening for clearer clues and safer crossings. Public transit and downtown parking are available, but check garage hours if you linger. Keep noise levels respectful in residential blocks and support local shops you pass—this game runs best when it leaves the city better than it found it.
The standard game is one hour; teams typically cover 1–2 miles depending on how they route their search.
