Dead Meat is an interactive real time event, set at the onset of the Zombie Apocalypse. Survivors and Zombies alike will use boffer weapons made of foam and Nerf pistols, all of which will be provided, to simulate combat. A variety of tools and equipment can be used to assist in the survival of the Apocalypse, which also will be found during the course of the event. Thinking on your feet is essential for survival, as quick thinkers will have a distinct edge over dullards. Not every challenge can be overcome by brawn. Players will experience both sides of the Apocalypse. We expect that each and every survivor will eventually become zombified, but that’s just the way it is. Few people actually survive the Zombie Apocalypse, and that will be accurately represented throughout the event. Players that get turned into zombies early in the game will get to play bigger and better zombies later on. It’s only a matter of time until you become Dead Meat.
