The clock starts on a crisp high-street afternoon as teams fan out beneath the watchful clock tower and the Grand Union Canal nudges you along the towpath. In Watford’s compact centre you’ll trade map pins for app prompts, racing between shops, parks and alleyways to collect survival items and complete zombie-themed challenges. The town’s familiar landmarks—Cassiobury Park trees, the old market sites, the Colosseum façade—become checkpoints in a game that turns civic geography into a strategic playground.
