You set off from a downtown sidewalk with your phone as the only map, Long Island Sound sighing a few blocks away and the city’s brick and glass sliding past. The app chirps; the remote host is on standby. It’s an hour-long, city-spanning sprint to collect survival items and complete zombie-themed challenges while Stamford’s streets push back — traffic lights, waterfront promenades, and pockets of quiet neighborhood park.
