- Humans vs. Zombies (also called HvZ for short) is a live-action game predominantly played at US college campuses. The storyline of the game dictates that players begin as Humans and try to survive a Zombie invasion. The ultimate goal of the game is for either all Humans to be turned into Zombies, or for the humans to survive a set amount of time. Humans can defend themselves using any item that is approved by a moderator and thereby deemed safe and appropriate. The most common equipment includes balled up socks, marshmallows, and foam dart blasters. Humans may throw or launch these items at Zombies, who become stunned once hit. Safe zones are also established so that players can eat and sleep in safety. Zombies, on the other hand, are unarmed and must tag Humans to gain a kill. In some cases, if a kill is not made within a set time period, Zombies "starve" and are removed from the field of play. The game was created in the fall of 2005 at Goucher College by Chris Weed, Brad Sappington, Joe Sklover, Max Temkin, Trevor Moorman, Justin Quick and Ben Beecher, who have since created an official website with general guideline rules and information for other universities to create and customize their own HvZ game. Final rules are determined by each game's moderators and admins. Since the game's creation, Humans vs. Zombies has been played at over 1,000 locations, spanning across six continents, most notably at the Pennsylvania State University, Utah State University, UMBC, Georgia Tech, Rochester Institute of Technology, SUNY Oswego, and Florida State University. Humans vs. Zombies has grown in popularity across campuses. While most games deal with relatively few people, some games have grown to have hundreds of participants. Some schools and universities have banned the game due to its perceived violent nature. An increase in sensitivity to gun violence following the 2007 school shooting at Virginia Tech also led to worries about the game's continuation at Goucher and elsewhere, and several games have been shut down due to concerns about Nerf Blasters being used. While predominantly played on campuses, Humans vs Zombies is also played in residential areas, camps, and even military bases. (en)
- 人類大戰殭屍（Humans vs. Zombies，縮寫 HvZ），是在大學校園內進行作為人類和嘗試在一個故事中生存的打殭屍遊戲。遊戲的最終目標是所有的人變成殭屍，或者部分人類生存至一個指定時間。人類能使用武器（捲成球狀的襪子、海綿子彈、和nerf玩具槍）保衞自己，從而認為安全和適當的情況下進行。殭屍被人類武器擊中須停止活動15分鐘；殭屍玩家不能使用武器，必須觸碰人類玩家令人類轉化成為殭屍，並在某些情況下，應避免「餓死」，從而迫使他們必須觸碰人類玩家。同時人類玩家可以在安全區進食和休息。 遊戲是由克裡斯·偉和布拉德·薩平頓在2005年的秋天創建。最後的規則是由遊戲版主和管理員確定的。遊戲的發展橫跨六大洲。如前所述，遊戲是以大學校園為主，同時人類大戰殭屍也舉辦於居住區、營地，甚至軍事基地。 人類大戰殭屍已經越來越流行，整個校園，與一千多名玩家在一場遊戲中參與。一些學校和大學已經禁止由於其感知的暴力性質的遊戲。在槍支暴力的敏感下，繼2007年在弗吉尼亞理工大學校園槍擊案也導致了遊戲的延遲，在古徹和其他地方的憂慮，以及幾個遊戲已經關閉，而且擔心正在使用的Nerf槍枝。 儘管遊戲主要在大學校園裡舉行，但是同時也開始舉辦於住宅區，營地，甚至軍事基地。 (zh)
