Humans vs. Zombies

There is this live-action game called Humans vs. Zombies which is basically a game of tag, but it involves a ton of people. Purdue is arranging HvZ for next week. There are several callouts. Basically, there are a few original zombies and the rest of the players are humans. All zombies, except for the originals, wear headbands. Humans where armbands. When a zombie comes into contact with a human, they touch their armband and that person becomes a zombie. It is just a large-scale version of tag and sounds awesome! My roommate was just telling me about it. Apparently, it happens on college campuses and is basically organized online. Purdue has a Facebook group that has organized HvZ. It is interesting to see just how technology is used in this situation. A campus-wide game of tag has been organized in a week using social networking sites. Without technology, it would be difficult to arrange such a thing.
