Humans vs. Zombies (HvZ) is a game of moderated tag commonly played on college campuses. Human players must remain vigilant and defend themselves with socks and Nerf guns to avoid being tagged by the growing zombie horde. Read more, or watch the documentary.

Since beginning at Goucher College in 2005, Humans vs. Zombies has developed an international fan base and received prominent press coverage from the Washington Post, the Associated Press, FOX "News", USA Today, the Globe and Mail, the Chronicle of Higher Education and SlashDot.

Someone made us a Wikipedia page. Stephen Colbert has declared us the "number one threat to America.".

Check out what it is like to play HvZ in Samuel Miller's HvZ movie trailer.

Humans Versus Zombies, the sometimes beloved, sometimes vilified game of moderated tag now played in multiple countries across the globe, had humble beginnings at the small liberal arts school Goucher College. But it would be inaccurate to state that the game was born out of thin air. It wasn’t. This is the story of its little known precursor.
