Who it's for

Groups of 4-5 who love social tension and hidden traitor dynamics. The crossroads cards create memorable story moments every game.

Not for you if…

Skip if hidden traitor mechanics cause real-world friction in your group or if you want a pure cooperative experience.

About this game

Standalone expansion to the zombie survival classic, adding new modules like the Raxxon pharmaceutical lab and bandits. Semi-cooperative with hidden betrayer potential — everyone works together against zombies while pursuing secret objectives that may conflict with the group's survival.
