The game conducts “missions” to bring both groups into close contact, for example on day one, the mission was to find missing persons, however only body parts were found. Rules and details were addressed online and character changes were adjusted through student participation by communicating with the moderators. Individual attire is up to the student playing, however there are a few specifics that are required to play the game. The bandana is a symbol needed to mark attribution; tied around the head titles a “zombie,” and tied around the arm titles a “human.” “Humans” carry Nerf weapons and sock grenades to rid the campus of the infection, however every “human” that is tagged only adds to the infected troupe. If tagged by a “human,” a “zombie” is stunned for 15 minutes, where as if a “zombie” tags a “human,” there is a one hour grace period before turning. “Zombies” drop “EXP cards” to give rewards to humans who can buy more gear with tokens at the shop located in the Connection area in the Spellmann center. These give players incentives to play their roles in the game, and the motives to hunt, track and survive.
