Zombie-Survivor Button Game at Houston Champs!

FIRST General Forum
1

MOE 365 has a fun opportunity for attendees at the Houston Championship.

Check out the Zombie-Survivor Button Game!

This is a game of zombies versus survivors.

Everyone starts off with a button survivor-side-up until there are enough players, and then we release one zombie.

When a zombie and a survivor meet, they must “battle” represented by playing Rock Paper Scissors. If the zombie wins, the survivor is infected and turns their button around zombie-side-up. If the survivor wins, they managed to fight off the zombie and continue to survive.
Those who survive until the end will receive an "I survived World Championships” button.

There is a third player, called a Zombie Medic, who can neither survive or die, they only represent an experimental cure for the virus.

Once everyone seems to be a zombie, we release the Zombie Medics, who will be judges at World Championships. A zombie wishes to stay a zombie and the medic wishes to turn them back, so when a medic approaches a zombie they must play Rock Paper Scissors. If the medic wins, the experimental cure worked and the zombie is turned into a survivor. If the zombie wins, they stay a zombie. No zombie can play against a medic more than once during a zombie cycle, however they may find another medic to try to turn them back.

Come by the MOE 365 pit in the Roebling Division to pick up a Zombie-Survivor button. We have a limited number, so get them while they last!

this sounds awesome! someone bring it to St. louis please :smiley:

This is obviously impossible to do in one night, but something I’ve seen before is to give every pin a unique QR code and then when someone is infected, the zombie scans the QR code through a game-specific app to convert them. Would be a cool idea for the future, just obviously a large effort to put in!
I’m hoping someone sets something up like what you guys have at St. Louis!

Well done. A simple, fun, and semi-competitive game.

Sounds fun, though this may end up being a bit distracting for a few of our members if they decide to take part :stuck_out_tongue:

Will definitely be dropping by your pit tomorrow. Let the FIRST-pocalypse begin! :smiley:

I will be stopping by to play as well, I just have one suggestion to the MUST battle thing.

If someone is clearly busy (talking to judges, two stepping (not running) through the pits, working on a robot, discussing strategy) please wait for them to finish.

We hear that a zombie outbreak has also been reported in St Louis. :stuck_out_tongue:

If it comes to St. Louis, I want to be a medic. Pretty please :smiley:
I will be a judge there.

This is such a creative idea. I hope someone brings it to St. Louis next week.

With 400 teams… have you considered a wheelbarrow?

Team 303 will be giving MOE zombie/survivor pins out in their pits today and tomorrow. Look out St. Louis!
