You’ve been thrown into the heart of a prison uprising gone horribly wrong. When the inmates rose up to kill the Warden, they thought they’d won. But death only made him stronger.
Now, he prowls the haunted halls – hunting the very inmates who once tried to escape his wrath. And you’ve stepped straight into the nightmare.
Trapped in a twisted maze built from fear itself, you’ll face grotesque apparitions and deadly traps born from their darkest regrets.
He commands the prison.
He’s coming to reclaim what’s his.
Will you escape… or be swallowed by his legacy?
You find yourself in a cold, desolate prison yard, and chaos has taken hold. The inmates have risen – but not on their own.
The Warden, long broken by years of humiliation and betrayal, has snapped. In a final act of vengeance, he’s flipped the script – manipulating the prisoners into hunting down their former captors.
Now, the guards are the prey.
And you’re caught in the middle of a twisted game of survival.
You’ve entered a top secret military facility – built to train soldiers in the fight against the undead.
But now, the mission is over.
Criminally insane prisoners from the adjacent penitentiary have overrun the compound, slaughtered the guards, and turned the facility into their personal playground of blood, brutality, and chaos.
The training zombies are gone.
And now, they’re coming for you.
Can you survive the minds of the mad… or will you become part of their twisted game?
Assemble your team and battle your way through a horde of zombies within a top secret training facility. Equipped with laser tag rifles you and your group will make your way through a series of video game inspired levels inhabited by the walking dead! Are you up to the challenge?
