This month's game: How to Succeed in the Apocalypse Without Really Dying

When the dead rose, the employees and attendees at Blue Sky Corporate Communication Seminars handled the problem the way they handle every problem: leveraging synergy, shifting paradigms, roadmapping strategies, and holistically approaching the disruption of the world as we know it. In other words, they barricaded themselves inside their office, updated their sensitivity training programs to reflect the need to occasionally shoot their colleagues in the brain stem, and carried on with their mission: teaching better communication strategies.

Which was all fine until a ragtag group of survivors managed to break through their defences, get inside, and start demanding food and weapons. Clearly the newcomers could benefit from a few communication skills workshops. Good thing the Blue-Sky employees have all the guns!

How to Succeed in the Apocalypse Without Really Dying is a very silly LARP about corporate drones, talking sticks, and zombies. Inspired by books such as "The Zombie Survival Guide"- by Max Brooks and "Z-Burbia" by Jake Bible.
