A downloadable bookmark solo game

You don't have long before the zombies overrun the house. Pack your bags - you need to get out quick!

NYZ: Load Up! is inspired by the solo game New York Zombies and offers a similar but much quicker experience in a format that can be conveniently tucked into your favourite zombie-related book!


All you need to play is the game, a pencil and a single six-sided dice. Visit four areas of your house, aiming to collect key items of gear. After all, having the right gear during an apocalypse can be difference between life and death!

Spend as little or as much time as you want searching for that all-important gear; you can run for the car, trying to take out any zombies that get in your way, when ever you want. But remember - the more useful items you have, the more likely it will be that you survive the journey ahead...

This is an awesome micro version of NYZ

Sent you an email with some feedback.

Cheers Cody - always appreciate your input! I've uploaded a new version that contains a number of adjustments based on your comments and playtesting!

I literally have a recurring where I’m scrambling through the house grabbing stuff to get out in an emergency. (I’ve since packed a ready bag, don’t worry.) can’t wait to bring the stress of that nightmare to the table. 

I wonder how well this work as a direct prequel to NYZ. I hope I can drive right from the burbs into Manhattan. (Big mistake!)

Thanks for all your work.  Looking forward to playing!

Ha amazing :D For someone who is as obsessed as I am with apocalyptic fiction, I am remarkably unprepared for any kind of serious event! Maybe 2026 will be the year I get it together and sort out a go bag!

Thanks for your support - really appreciated! And let me know if you have any feedback -this has not been heavily playtested so I anticpate having to make some tweaks over the coming weeks.
