If you’ve been on campus lately, you’ve probably noticed the hordes of people running around carrying Nerf guns and wearing lime green bands. That was this semester’s game of Humans vs. Zombies which ran all through last week, with humans wearing the bands around their arm and zombies wearing them around their head.
Players participate in missions throughout the week. This semester’s game ended in a draw. Four humans were still standing at the end of the game, but they were unable to complete their final mission when the game ended on Saturday, Nov. 5.
Missions throughout the week included science fiction elements like toxic waste, zombie antidote potions, and an atomic bomb. After the final mission, humans and zombies came together for an awards assembly to reward the week’s most valuable players.
Humans vs. Zombies is a fundraiser for Alpha Psi Omega, the theatre honorary society.
