Friday, March 25 at 9:00pm - March 26 at 1:00am

Location:

Johnson City,100 W. Millard Street

Johnson City, TN

PLEASE INVITE ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS. THE MORE PEOPLE ATTEND THE BETTER IT WILL BE

A city-wide game of zombie tag. Players must make it to all six checkpoints without becoming infected and turning into zombies themselves before reaching the finish.

1. Players will come to the game wearing a white t-shirt under a black t-shirt. When a human player is tagged with both hands by a zombie they will remove the black t-shirt and become zomb...ies. This way zombies will be easily identifiable by their white t-shirts. *If asked directly players must answer whether they are in the game or not. This will help avoid any mix-ups with civilians.

2. A small item yet to be revealed will be given to each player before the game starts. When a player is tagged they will hand that item over to their "killer" so that a kill count for each zombie can be assessed at the end of the game.

3. Going indoors is prohibited unless its for the restroom. Don't hide from the zombies in a bar like a little bitch, get out there and mix it up.

4. Trespassing is neither encouraged or prohibited by the game. If you wanna run through someone's backyard go ahead, but try not to get the game shut down for the rest of us.

5. Checkpoints will consist of a stamp that will be placed on either the players' hands or a piece of paper, at the players discretion. Checkpoints will be surrounded by small "Safe Zones" where zombies cannot tag players.

6. Game must be played on foot. If you can't walk then a wheelchair or powerchair is fine. No cars though since they are too enclosed and too fast for the zombies to have a chance. Remember its as much about being sneaky as about being fast. You don't have to be fast to win the game.

Game map can be found here: Survive Johnson City - Google Maps

Prizes will be awarded to the zombie with the most kills and the first (or only) humans to finish alive.

It sounds like a lot of fun, but how many folks will it take to make a good game?

[Guest mudduck]

i wish i was closer,this would be fun

[Guest 73challenger]

I am close and this sounds fun...but this sounds like a great way to get arrested!

[Guest joshlawn2]

I believe it is in part coordinated with the city, so unless your getting carried away too much you should be fine. As far as the number of people needed to make this a great time, all I can say is - The More The Merrier. Since we have until March to test our Zombie evading skills, let's spread the word and hope for the best.

It sounds like it could be fun. But, its to far to travel for me. It won't be a accurate representation of the Zombie Apocalypse, if you're not allowed to shoot the zombies. I hope it takes off though, and makes Johnson City boatloads of cash. If so, other citys will join in and try to cash in. Maybe one would be closer to Nashville.

That sounds like lots of fun. Kinda like a fancy game of tag.

It doesn't sound like zombie makeup would be necessary, though it might end up a costume party.

A comment that doesn't apply to this event, just something have thought about. Reading about some of the zombie parties that have happened here'n'there-- Have wondered if the wisdom of dressing up in full zombie garb at night, might be similar wisdom as dressing in a bear suit or a bigfoot suit and wandering around in the woods at night?

LoL, I know what you mean.

[Guest timcooks]

That sounds like a blast.

I would like to make it up there if I aint on call...

Maybe we should think up a carpool plan from Nashville...

[Guest timcooks]

So far there are 562 people planned on attending on the FB page... Might get really entertaining, if the locals get pissed off at all the ZOMBIES...

[Paletiger13]

Roadtrip??? If I'm not on call lol

[Guest timcooks]

Are you being facetious??? Hell, Im serious as erectile dysfunction. I would like to at least watch this mass hysteria go down. Anyone know if there is a bar IVO this impending pooch screw?

[Guest zman080808]

What day is it? On here it says March 25th but on face book it says April fools day.

[Guest Michael.G]

This seems like it would be pretty fun...If i didn't already have reservations in Nashville that weekend i would put my trip off a day.

The link says I have to log in to see the page. I don't play facebook. Anyone know if the details are available on a normal website? It sounds like fun but I never thought of running from zombies. I've been practicing to take them out.

Welcome to the Survive Johnson City webpage. Survive Johnson City will be the city’s first ever large scale game of zombie tag and is so far estimated to attract 6,000 people to downtown Johnson City, Tennessee. The game will begin at 9pm on April 1st with players departing the starting area in an attempt to make it to six checkpoints without being tagged and becoming zombies themselves. We’ll also be making a formal attempt to break the Guinness world record for the largest game of tag ever played. This event is free for all attendees and all ages are welcome.

I'm so there !!!

Thank you for the link. It still went through a facebook page but I didn't have to have a user or password. Here's the direct link for those interested:

The date listed on the web page is 1 April. It says they're hoping to break the Guinness world record for the largest game of tag ever played. I hope it doesn't turn into the largest April Fools joke ever played.

[Guest DKenyon28]

definitely looks pretty awesome. Played zombies on Call of Duty Black Ops last night and had 1228 zombie kills. My previous high was 750

[Guest transammanv8]

I have nothing better to do that night. Where do they expect everyone to park? If over 6k people attend, that'll be a lot of cars down there.

I don't really know that area real well so I may go walk it next weekend if it doesn't rain.

[memphisjim]

dang it where is my airsoft saiga 12

[Guest rb shoot to kill]

hmmm....April 1st? could be gag on a grand scale..

[bigbabysweets]

OH MY GOD! It's about two hours away from here..... I'm only about 100% sure me and a ton of people I know are gonna be there.

Even if this DOES turn out to be a prank, after we all look like idiots... GAME ON! Just cause they weren't planning on actually playing doesn't mean we can't!

[Guest joshlawn2]

LoL, Love the attitude. It will be alot of fun one way or another.
