Hogwarts vs. Zombies: A Very Potter Apocalypse is essentially a gigantic game of tag. All players begin as perfectly human Hogwarts students, except for a few Original Zombies. The goal of the zombies is to turn everyone into zombies by tagging them. The goal of the humans is to stop the zombies by completing wizarding objectives across campus, using enchanted muggle weaponry such as Nerf blasters, "sock grenades", and other soft throwing projectiles unlocked over the course of the night to defend each other from the growing zombie horde.
Players are strongly encouraged to bring a well-charged cell phone and Harry Potter-themed attire!
