Bring a fully charged smartphone
The game runs entirely through the app and chat with your remote host; a dead battery ends the hunt early.
Wear comfortable walking shoes
Expect 1–2 miles on flat pavement with occasional curbs and steps; footwear matters more than speed.
Respect private property and traffic
Follow sidewalks and public routes only — checkpoints are placed in public spaces, not inside private businesses unless invited.
Use a portable battery pack
Extended GPS and app use drains power quickly, so a backup charger keeps your team competitive until the final score.
Smartphone with the Zombie Scavengers app
Required to receive tasks, submit finds, track scores and chat with the remote host.
Portable battery pack
Keeps your device powered through continuous app use and photos.
Comfortable walking shoes
Flat, supportive shoes make moving quickly between checkpoints easier and more comfortable.
Weather-appropriate layers
A light waterproof layer or warm mid-layer helps as Ontario weather can change during an hour outdoors.
