The Market Square hums with weekend traders and the River Nene pushes its slow current past low brick warehouses as you tap open the Zombie Scavengers app and choose a strategy. You and your team fan out through Georgian streets, under the arched gates of the old town, and across small parks, hunting for everyday objects turned vital in a mock apocalypse—each discovery scored, each challenge a test of wit and pace.
