You step into downtown Richmond with a phone in hand and a deadline on your wrist: survive. The app lays out a list of scavenger items and zombie-themed challenges that send teams through brick-lined streets, past muraled alleys and along the James River’s edge. The city’s pulse—college students, canal barges, courthouse steps—becomes the obstacle course.
Richmond’s streets carry layers of history: a colonial port, Civil War capital, and a modern creative hub. The city’s geology—rolling Piedmont bluffs and the James River’s low divides—shaped transport routes and neighborhoods you’ll cross while hunting for supplies. Local culture leans blunt and inventive; food trucks, craft breweries and art-filled courtyards make checkpoints interesting as much for the stops as the score.
Expect a social, urban puzzle rather than a physical trek. The experience is self-guided with a remote host monitoring progress via chat, so you’ll rely on situational awareness more than endurance. Use daylight hours to read clues clearly and take safe routes through busy intersections.
Practical tips: bring a charged phone, portable battery, and comfortable walking shoes; plan a compact loop to maximize points within the hour. Team roles—navigator, runner, photographer—pay off. Public transit and street parking are available near central start points, and many tasks are wheelchair- and stroller-accessible.
Whether you’re after team-building fun or a playful way to learn Richmond’s neighborhoods, the game pushes you to see the city with new intent: every mural, doorway and river bend is a resource in the race to survive.
