12. Human vs Zombies in Otaniemi on the 4^th and 5^th of May

Apocalypse!

The zombie virus is spreading! Does humanity have any chance against the ever-growing zombie horde? This year, the virus emerges from the labs of the rich elite. “They” created it to make people their brain-dead slaves who work endlessly and contaminate more humans. Can the humans prevent this vicious plan or will the world turn into a giant factory to create more capital for the rich?

Humans vs. Zombies is a moderated game of tag where zombie players try to spread the infection by tagging human players. Team work is the key to success, so meeting new people is guaranteed. The game is completely free of charge and happens in Otaniemi 24/7 on the 4^th and 5^th of May. The main tasks take place in the evening, so don’t worry.
