A real-time zombie escape where only the active player can speak, forcing the rest of the team to remember and time silently.
Who it's for
Groups who enjoy cooperative games with real time pressure and unusual communication restrictions.
Not for you if…
Your group struggles with real-time pressure or the communication-limit rule tends to cause frustration rather than fun.
Vibe's take
Frantic and tense — the ticking hourglass and one-speaker rule create real pressure to remember rather than just react.
Staying Alive drops your group into a zombie-overrun city with an hourglass ticking down, and a harsh rule: only the player whose turn it is may speak, forcing everyone else to communicate through timing and memory alone.
