Zombie Tag - In Preparation for Zombie Day on Sunday
For those of you who don't know, Sunday is Zombie Day.
Infected Monkey Zombie Tag
Jonah and Taury run for their lives as they are slowly surrounded by Zombie Kyle, Lorraine, Cat, Amanda, Josiah and Denise
Here is Josh and Dave's Zombie Tag, which is by far the best. I've read other descriptions of Zombie Tag, and they are dumb.
Josh, feel free to correct me if I miss something.
You need:
- A large empty field (unless it's a graveyard) with clearly defined boundaries that you can't go outside of.
- 10 - 100 people
- grass stain remover (trust me)
How to play:
1. For the 1st round, you randomly pick an Infected Monkey. Usually it's Josh or Dave, but if you can't have one of the game's creators, anyone else will do.
2. Everyone else is a human. For now. The Infected Monkey starts somewhere - middle of the field? and everyone else gets the fuck away.
3. Start! The infected Monkey can run REAL FAST. And chase you. And touch you. And MAKE YOU A ZOMBIE!
Infected Monkey crouches in waiting
4. If the Infected Monkey touches you at all, AT ALL, even just your SHIRT or your GLASSES, that means that you are now INFECTED!
5. Once you are INFECTED you must fall to the ground WRITHING in agony. You are now a ZOMBIE!! You feel an overwhelming, irresistable urge for BRAINS!! Sadly, you are a Zombie now and can only shamble slowly, arms outstretched, lurching towards the deliciously healthy brains you see running around the field, whom you must touch with BOTH HANDS. Once you are in arm's reach of a healthy brain, you may take one large LUNGE towards it, but you are too zombified to run or even shuffle quickly. The best strategy is to team up with some of the rest of the horde and try to surround some healthy brains or steer them towards the Infected Monkey (see photo above).
Josh adds: Just one thing I see missing. Zombies can not speak. They can say only one thing. BRAAAAAAAAAINS!
6. The last Healthy Brain standing is the WINNER and gets first refusal to be Infected Monkey for the next round!
This works well as a performance piece, too, especially if everyone had a zombie mask in their pocket that they put on when they fell to the ground... hmmm...
