Registering for the Weeklong

The Fall Weeklong game will begin on September 15th at 9pm, and will run until September 20th at 8pm.

All players must attend one full in-person registration session in order to play. By attending a registration session, you will learn the rules of the game, purchase your player bandana, and activate your account on our website. The bandana is $5, and you can reuse it in all of our future games.

What is HvZ?

Humans vs. Zombies (HvZ) is a twist between Zombie tag and Nerf tag. In HvZ, Zombies are attempting to tag and turn Humans, while the Humans must defend themselves using Nerf blasters and balled-up socks.

Each semester, we run many different events, including:

  • A weeklong game of HvZ played 24/7 across the entire RIT school campus
  • A day-long invitational game where we invite other schools to join us
  • Several minigames where current students join us for 1-2 hours to play a smaller game in a field
  • Introductory events for RIT festivals, such as Orientation and Freezefest

Signing Up to Play

To join our Weeklong Game, join the discord server and go to the #weeklong-registration channel to find out when you can sign up. Note that in order to play you must attend a registration session in full, and you need to attend a new registration session each semester you play.

To learn more about the rules of the weeklong game or to watch our rules video, visit the rules page.

Report an Incident

If there is an injury or some other medical emergency, please directly contact emergency services or the RIT Ambulance for help. Time is crucial, and waiting for an admin to intervene costs precious time. 

If you have witnessed a negative incident related to HvZ, please report it to us via our report page. We take incidents very seriously, and do not tolerate dangerous behavior or harassment of any kind. 

For less time sensitive matters, join our discord and ask away, we don't bite :)

I Found a Bug! What do I do?

Dedication

This website and the games run with it are dedicated to the memory of Liam Mattingly, our late club president and friend. Liam loved sharing his passion for this hobby with the world, and worked to make the Humans Versus Zombies hobby as accessible and welcoming a place as possible. We hope to continue that legacy.
