Fellow Illinois fans are going to have a treat with a full on day of zombie activities. Not only is is just for fun but there are a ton of prizes you can be awarded depending on your skills in the various challenges!
The Zombie Army Games is a day of “Zombie Themed†individual physical challenges and team based games. All registered participants will have an opportunity to compete against other zombies and survivors through out the day in the individual challenges: Zombie Obstacle Course, Hatchet toss, Crossbow Challenge, and Severed Head Toss. Zombies who come in a group or form one at the event can also register for the team based games (zombie hunt , zombie ball, and possibly kickball). As the games wind down, we will be serving a late BBQ lunch to our guest and present the awards and prizes to our top competitors. After the awards ceremony, we will kick off the evening events with a Giant Zombie Man Bonfire and “Zombie Huntâ€. The night will come to a close 11:30 unless you register to be one of our overnight guests, “The Survivorsâ€. If you choose to stay the night, you will not only be camping in the shadow of Statesville Haunted Prison, but you will also be invited on a scavenger hunt throughout the haunt. However, if you don’t want to face the menacing late night scavenger hunt, you are free to enjoy the campfire and the company of zombies. All campers must break camp and leave by 11 am the following day.
Although we will have refreshments throughout the day and one meal served in the late afternoon, we do encourage our guest to bring their own snacks and drinks to the games. (coolers are allowed, but underage drinking is strictly prohibited).
It is highly encouraged to dress as a zombie or a survivor for the day, there will be a makeup booth that can assist you for an additional fee.
All registered competitors will be willingly participating in physical activities that can lead to injury. All participants will sign an agreement which will free the event and producers from any responsibility or liability of any and all injuries the competitor might sustain during The Zombie Army Games.
