You step off the curb into Scottsdale sunlight, phone in hand and a score to chase. The city hums — café patios, public art, the canal's muted current — and the game map scatters survival items across streets and plazas. The premise is simple: collect supplies, complete zombie-themed challenges and outscore other teams while a remote host watches the leaderboard and chats if you need help.
