The Megagame of Zombie Apocalypse

Outline

This is a crisis game about a biomedical emergency in a major industrial city. This outbreak creates an unprecedented crisis with unknown parameters of unknown proportions and no obvious solutions and this forms the background for a fast-moving and tense situation for players to attempt to resolve. The crisis grows rapidly and particularly tests players' ability to assimilate incomplete information and communicate to others, taking account of not just operational but also political and economic factors.

Game Play

Players form teams representing the city police, state police, National Guard, emergency services, a biomedical company, city government and state government. Some of the teams need to work through problems associated with operational deployment questions – deciding how to control the streets that appear to be increasingly out of control or deciding how best to utilise medical teams and hospitals.Key timing questions arise – how soon to call on the state police, or even the National Guard, or even, in the last resort, Federal forces. Other teams manage the political crisis – communicating with civic leaders and the other teams to attempt to manage both the information and the political fallout of events.

Ideal Audiences

Organisations wishing to practice a crisis response and organisational communication skills.

Organisations seeking a very unusual team building challenge.

Students wishing to understand the dynamics of City and State politics within the U.S.A.
