Sign Up for the Zombie Apocalypse

Surviving Alexandria usually means dodging tourists and avoiding old women driving Jaguars. This time, it involves zombies. You and 450 competitors will attempt to cross Alexandria without being tagged by the undead, lest you turn from hunted to hunter. In your case, zombies carry flasks.
