About us

The world is not how it used to be...

A deadly virus has taken hold and made its way through the earth’s population and you’re one of the remaining few left uninfected. Finding a safe place to call home with a fresh batch of supplies is your top priority.

After weeks of walking through treacherous terrain, accompanied by zombies at each and every turn, you hear a lifeline, a random call through your radio alerting you that there is food, water and a safe Base Camp within the grounds of Dartmoor Zoo and you must be close because the signal is getting stronger with every step!

Your task is to make your way through the grounds, facing trials that will test your knowledge, survival instincts and your nerves, whilst coming face to face with the very zombies you’re trying to find safe passage from. You’ll need to find your way to the source of the radio call, collecting supplies on your way and provide the secret password in order to secure your place in Base Camp.

You will be briefed and given some cryptic clues during your journey to illuminate what the password is, but whether you make it back out alive is down to you and your... dependable companions. You will have two “lifelines” attached to you and it’s in your best interest to arrive back at Base Camp with both still on your person. Prizes await participants based upon their levels of success.

The warm embrace of Base Camp is where you can finally relax after your treacherous journey, enjoy hearty meals, soft and alcoholic beverages and acquire mementos to remember your experience at Dartmoor Zoo.

So, the real question...Do you think you’ve got what it takes to survive a zombie apocalypse?

Find out by joining us for our unforgettable Night of the Dead – Zombie Survival Challenge on either October 23rd, 24th, 30th or 31st this year!

Supplies and spaces are limited, so make sure you book now to ensure you have the chance to prove what you are made of!
