Thank you to everyone who played with us on Halloween night. We had the best time watching you run.
Or follow us on InstagramYou spend the whole night in the zone, trying to hold on to your scarf, reach the missions and stay out of the horde's way.
Fluorescent green, and a map of the zone. Some zombies walk at you and block the way. Others sprint. You never know which one is round the corner.
There are missions all over town. At each one there's a task you have to complete to survive.
If you still have your scarf at midnight, you survived.
Lose your scarf and you choose what happens next. Walk back to the check-in point, have the team put makeup on you, and come back out as one of the zombies. Or wait for the final stand. Or leave the zone. There is no way back to human.
Every night is a new city, a new map and new missions.
Under 13 can't come. It's dark out there and it's genuinely frightening, and that's not fair on a younger kid. If you're 13, 14 or 15, bring an adult, 18 or over, who walks the night with you the whole way. If you're 16 or 17, a parent signs the consent form and you bring it with your ID.
The infected will run at you, corner you, shout, and touch your arm or shoulder to tag you. Nothing more. Same for you: no touching, no pushing through, no fighting back. Nothing in your hands, no flashlights, no lasers.
Hand the scarf back to the zombie who tagged you. Then pick one: go back to base and get turned, wait for the final stand, or leave the zone.
None, before or during. If you're seen drinking in the zone, or carrying any of it, you're out.
Nothing with wheels inside the zone, motorised or not. Everyone runs, the infected included.
Recorded debriefs from Woerden, 13 June 2026.
You guys managed to created an insanely scary atmosphere where it felt like there were zombies everywhere with like... 30 zombies or something? I was so impressed! Honestly great job my team & I thought there were waaaayyyy more.
A survivor who came with a teamOne indoor level really stood out to me: walking through a hallway with two 'blind' zombies while throwing bottles to distract them genuinely felt like playing a real-life level from The Last of Us!
A survivor, on one of the indoor missionsOmg the sprinters were terrifying, we were constantly afraid. Also the missions itself were fun and challenging!
A survivor at WoerdenLoved the zombie break-out at the start. Everybody just started sprinting without looking behind them.
A survivor who asked to crew the next oneThe chase of the zombies and the hiding was great but i loved the part where i was the zombie the best.
A survivor who got turnedThe time! the transition from daylight into night was amazing.
A survivor at Woerden5 questions. Would you make it?
More than 200 of you came to Purmerend on Halloween night. You found the missions and ran from a lot of zombies. Thank you for playing with us.
We're already planning the next one. Leave your email and you'll hear first when tickets open.
Photos from Purmerend are coming to our InstagramWe're always looking for volunteers: zombies, make-up artists and people to run the missions. Leave your details and we'll get in touch with you.
VOLUNTEER NOWYou don't need to be an athlete, but you'll cover a lot of ground and you'll have to sprint now and then. On average people walk around 10 kilometres over the night, depending on how they go through the missions. Wear shoes you can run in.
Cold, and dark early. You're outdoors for hours on a Dutch night, so dress for standing still as well as for running. Layers you can move in, a warm hat, and shoes you don't mind ruining. Rain is honestly fine, it hides the sound of you moving. If we ever have to call a night off you get a full refund. If we set a new date instead, you can take that and keep your ticket.
Yes, at any point. Tell any crew member, hand in your green scarf, and someone walks you out of the zone safely. Once you're out you can't come back in.
Through the ticket link here on our website, once the next city is announced. Leave your email on this page and you'll hear the moment tickets open.
Tell us 7 days or more before the night and you get half the ticket price back. Inside 7 days there's no refund. You can pass your ticket to someone else at any point, just tell us who. Email us at hello@survivethez.com either way.
13 and up. Under 13 can't come: the night is dark and genuinely frightening, and it isn't fair on a younger kid or on the group they're with. If you're 13, 14 or 15, an adult of 18 or over comes with you and does the night with you. At 16 and 17 you can come on your own, but a parent signs a consent form. We send that form to ticket holders by email after they buy, so nothing needs signing before you buy.
The next city and date aren't set yet. Leave your email and you'll hear first. Check-in opens before the game starts, and the game runs until midnight. You get the exact times with your ticket.
Yes. Medical support is available throughout the night.
Everything written down is in English. Most of the people in the zone will be Dutch and speaking Dutch, and so will the crew, so use whichever is easier for you.
THANK YOU, PURMEREND
