I know, this doesn't look good... trapped on the 28th floor, between a pizza-hungry zombie horde, and the last deep dish in town... You'll need to think quickly if you have any hope of surviving this apocalypse (and saving your pizza). It's time for an escape plan! Escape Room Z is a printable game pack that transforms any space into an edge-of-your-seat escape room experience. Just imagine the perfect blend of 'escape room' and 'house party'... then add zombies! This printable escape room kit combines the teamwork, tension, and puzzle-solving of escape rooms with the funloving elements of group party games. But be warned, this is a challenging game. Players will work together to escape the zombie horde by: finding a weapon, securing their pizza, and unlocking the balcony door. If time runs out... the zombies run in! Gameplay is centered around a series of puzzle and clue card which are hidden around the room. Players will need to logically connect elements on each card in order to solve puzzles. Each puzzle solved puts players one step closer to escaping the zombie horde. Game setup is quick and spoiler-free. Hints and puzzle solutions are handled by an online hint system that players access on their smartphones. This means that no game master is required to supervise the experience, so you can join the game alongside your players. The game can expand to accommodate any number of players by dividing your group into teams of 2-4, and then pitting them against each other to see who finishes the game first. In addition, you can edit the game file before printing to customize your own escape room experience. So, think you've got what it takes to survive the zombie apocalypse? Let's find out!
