You step out onto a sun-warmed sidewalk in downtown Waco, phone in hand and a city full of clues waiting to bite back. Brick storefronts, the distant murmur of the Brazos River, and the courthouse clock set the stage as your team plots a route to collect survival items and complete zombie-themed challenges. The city feels like an opponent that nudges you — alleys offer shortcuts, murals taunt with clues, and passerby chatter becomes part of the score.
