Survive, complete objectives, and protect your team.
Humans begin the game trying to avoid zombie tags while completing missions, finding allies, and responding to updates from staff.
What is HVZ?
A campus-wide survival game with missions, strategy, and a story that unfolds in real time.
Humans vs Zombies starts with a simple idea: humans try to survive, zombies try to tag humans, and everyone keeps playing as the campus story evolves. KSU HVZ turns that into a structured event with staff support, safe zones, objectives, and clear communication.
Tag humans and grow the horde.
When a human is tagged, they become part of the zombie team. That keeps the game active, social, and unpredictable.
The game changes through objectives.
Missions give players reasons to move, cooperate, solve problems, and show up for key moments across campus.
Moderators keep the game clear and safe.
Staff explain rules, resolve disputes, post updates, define safe zones, and make judgment calls during the event.
How it feels
Part game, part campus tradition, part live story.
You can play between classes, during planned missions, and around your normal schedule. The best moments happen when students notice the game taking over familiar campus spaces: wristbands, team movement, mission briefings, campus screens, and sudden changes in who is still human.
