You step into Greensboro with your phone as your only map and the clock ticking. Brick sidewalks push you toward Downtown’s storefronts while fountains and sculptures dare you to pause. The game drops you into neighborhoods, markets, and public squares with a list of “survival” items and zombie-themed challenges; strategy and local curiosity determine whether your team racks up points or gets outpaced by rival survivors.
