About the game

It is organized by the university’s division of Students in Free Enterprise, a non-profit organization, run by students, which helps to fund sustainable projects in developing countries.
英國蘭卡斯特大學的一些學生計劃于本月晚些時候,舉辦他們一年一度的越獄比賽。這個比賽由該校的大學生企業(yè)家聯(lián)盟籌辦,這個非盈利性組織由學生管理,旨在資助發(fā)展中國家的可持續(xù)項目。
Traveling in pairs, participants have 36 hours to journey as far as possible, without spending any money.

When they reach their destination, students are required to take a photo and buy a newspaper to prove that they were there. Prizes are awarded for most money raised and furthest distance traveled.

About the game
游戲說明
You don’t have to wait until Halloween to play a zombie game. Created in the fall of 2005 at Goucher College, US by students Brad Sappington and Chris Weed, the game Humans vs Zombies has taken the US by storm and is now played on more than 200 college campuses across the country. Many find that the game is a good way to make friends.
你不必非要等到萬圣節(jié)才能玩僵尸游戲。美國古徹學院的學生布拉德•薩平頓和克里斯•威德在2005年秋天發(fā)明了一款風靡全美的僵尸大戰(zhàn)游戲,現(xiàn)在全美超過200所大學校園的學生們都在玩這種游戲。許多人覺得這個游戲是個很好的交友平臺。
How to play
玩法
Everyone playing the game starts as “human” with the exception of one: the original zombie.
每個人在游戲開始時都是“人類”,只有一人例外:那就是“原始僵尸”。
If a player is touched by the zombie, he or she then becomes a zombie and is required to “tag” at least one human every 48 hours to stay in the game.
一旦玩家被僵尸碰到,他就會變成僵尸,每隔48小時他都要“感染”一個“人類”才能繼續(xù)留在游戲里。
If a human player manages to “stun” a zombie with a toy gun or a pair of rolled up socks (socks are recommended by school faculties), they are safe for the time being. The “stunned” zombie is not allowed to tag a human for a predetermined length of time.
如果一個扮演人類的玩家用玩具槍或一雙卷起來的襪子打暈一只僵尸(襪子這個主意是由學校老師的提出的),那么他們就暫時安全了。“暈厥”的僵尸在預定時間內(nèi)不能再傳染人類。
The game can last days, weeks or even all semester. If less than a certain number of humans survive the attack, the zombies win.
這個游戲可以持續(xù)幾天,幾周,甚至是整個學期。如果人類的數(shù)量少于規(guī)定數(shù)量,那么僵尸就贏了。
