About Us

What is HvZ?

Humans vs. Zombies (HvZ) is a real-life Zombie Apocalypse game played across RIT Campus each semester. In HvZ, you play as either a Human or a Zombie. As a Human, you can defend yourself from Zombie players using Nerf Blasters and balled-up socks. If you get tagged, you become a Zombie for the rest of the game.

Each semester, we run many types of events:

  • Weeklongs: A 6-day game of HvZ played 24/7 outdoors across the entire RIT school campus
  • Invitationals: An all-day game where people from other schools are welcome to join us
  • Minigames: 1-2 hour games played on a single field regularly throughout the semester
  • And More! You might find us at RIT events like Orientation, Brick City Weekend, and SpringFest!

Where Can I Join?

The best place to stay up to date is our discord server. We post all events in the #announcements channel with opt-in notification roles. If you're interested in our club events, make sure to join so you never miss a beat!

Report an Incident

If there is an injury or some other medical emergency, please dial 911 or contact the RIT Ambulance for help. Time is crucial, and waiting for the EBoard to intervene costs precious time. 

If you have witnessed or experienced 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?

You found a WHAT!? If you find a bug, please let the Web Chair or anyone else on the admin team know as soon as possible. If you report a bug to us and don't use it to break anything we may even give you a snazzy bug-bounty badge as a reward.

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.
