About the game
Zombie 15' is a frantic, real-time cooperative survival game in which a small band of teenage survivors must escape a world where adults have all turned into zombies. Two to four players race against the clock, literally, with a 15-minute soundtrack, to complete scenario-based missions like finding shelter, holding positions, or uncovering the truth behind the outbreak. Action points, movement, and variable character powers combine under intense time pressure. Designed by Guillaume Lémery and Nicolas Schlewitz, its 15-scenario campaign builds an ongoing story across sessions.
Hobbli's Notes
We love how the built-in 15-minute soundtrack turns Zombie 15' into a genuinely tense race against real time, not just an in-game clock. The dark young-survivor premise adds an unusual edge for a zombie survival game, and the scenario campaign gives strong reasons to keep coming back. It demands quick thinking under pressure, which some groups will find exhilarating and others stressful. A great pick for groups who love time-pressured cooperative survival games.
What we like
- Genuine real-time tension from the 15-minute soundtrack.
- Engaging 15-scenario progressive campaign.
- Distinctive young-survivor take on the zombie genre.
- Fast, high-energy sessions.
Keep in mind
- Real-time pressure may stress out some players.
- Campaign structure requires committing to multiple sessions.
- Modular board setup adds prep time between scenarios.
