Announcing: Irvington Zombies

A Game of Neighborhood Resilience and Survival

More information coming soon. 

The Green Policy Task Force, the Presbyterian Church and the Rivertowns Playhouse bring you a game of resilience: a month of challenges for neighborhood teams culminating in a giant zombie survival game May 30th.

Background

As part of Irvington’s Climate Adaptation & Resilience Plan, we seek to help neighborhoods become more resilient by mapping out vulnerabilities and resources in the form of mutual aid networks, helping each other to be prepared for disasters and establishing relationships. By gamifying the process, we bring levity to a serious subject while making it engaging and accessible for much wider participation.  

Gameplay

Neighborhoods will form teams and compete with other neighborhoods to earn points. Points will be gained by completing activities throughout May such as: 

The Site

The Presbyterian Church will open its campus for play hosting game stations, obstacle courses, a food truck and picnic tables, and meet and greet information tables with the police, fire department and ambulance corps. A DJ may play as well.
