What is HvZSource?

HvZSource is our free hosted HvZ game site solution. These websites help to organize and manage your games – they automate a lot of the tedious busy work, allowing you to focus on making sure your players have fun.

When you sign up for our free hosting we give you your own URL (i.e. http://[yourschool].hvzsource.com). The people playing in your game register at this URL and the website helps you keep track of who is playing, what team they’re on, who’s starving when and more.

Feel free to poke around on the demo game site.

Do I Need Hosting?

Humans vs Zombies is a lot more complicated than a game of tag. That said, It’s not impossible to play like you would play tag in kindergarten – using the honor system. When games get larger (UMass has had games of over one thousand), it becomes much more difficult to keep track of everything.

Larger games risk being exploited by opportunistic players or non-players who enjoy ruining other’s fun. Our hosting doesn’t remove this risk completely, it merely gives organizers more powerful tools and information regarding their game.

What Are the Alternatives?

On our multimedia page, we host previous versions of the game engine. If you know your way around a server, you can set them up and play on your own.

Huzzah… Sign me up!
