ZOMBIE MURDER MYSTERY GAME
Ages: 15+
Number of Players: 8-16 players (10 more can be added)
Difficulty: Moderate 6/10
Murder: Yes
Gender: Any
General Costume/Attire: Zombies
Synopsis: Three weeks ago, the cheery town of Sunnyville was hit with a devastating plague that turned the living into horrifying undead zombies. The H5N1 zombie virus spread and the zombie population dominated the living within Sunnyville. The zombies staged a revolt and took over the government. The Center for Disease Control quarantined the town, and the feds threatened to eradicate the zombies to prevent spreading of this viral nightmare. Nonetheless, the citizens of the newly-formed Zombie Town weren't the stereotypical aggressive monsters portrayed in movies, television and comic books. The citizens were simply dead and decomposing but the same as before - upstanding citizens! There was one gruesome exception: the virus gave them an intense craving for living human flesh!
A mandatory vaccine against the H5N1 zombie virus was given to the human population outside of Zombie Town, and the epidemic ended. Soon after, human rights activists caught wind of the situation in the former Sunnyville (aka: Zombie Town) and formed the Save a Zombie Alliance. Millions banded together and persuaded the government to sign an unprecedented peace treaty with the zombies. Ashes, the self-acclaimed Emperor of Zombie Town, negotiated the truce with the President of the United States. The major clause in the treaty was that zombies would not cross the borders of Zombie Town unless on a sanctioned journey, and they would never hunt living humans for food outside of their borders. With mandatory warning signs posted for miles surrounding Zombie Town’s borders, there was an addendum in favor of the zombies that if a living human ended up inside the borders the town, hunting and capture was allowed.
Ashes set forth the laws of Zombie Town, and the treaty was to be signed by both Ashes and the President of the United States within 24 hours. The citizens were happy to be at peace with the feds.
The zombies had discovered they could sustain themselves by eating pumpkins, but pumpkins didn’t quite satisfy their appetite for living human flesh. Suppressing their cravings led to increasing irritability. With frustrations escalating in Zombie Town, Ashes had to pump up the morale of the citizens. Leary of civil unrest, the Undead Festival was created. The celebration would be town wide with delicious pumpkin-inspired food, rockin’ music, and fun zombie games. This is where the story begins…
