Headed to San Diego Comic-Con this July? Even if you are one of the millions of people who was unable to garner a ticket to the convention of the year, you will not want to miss The Walking Dead Escape, an immersive zombie obstacle course at Petco Park from July 25-26. Based on fan-favorite TV show The Walking Dead and produced by Robert Kirkman’s Skybound, The Walking Dead Escape is a one-of-a-kind experience that horror fans should amble, crawl, and run to join!
After its successful 2012 debut at San Diego’s Petco Park, The Walking Dead Escape expanded with three additional events in major cities in 2013. Based on fans’ enthusiastic response, Skybound decided to take the events to the next level with a national tour in 2014, while also returning to San Diego Comic-Con, where the excitement all began.
The course, which has already thrilled tens of thousands of participants since its debut, allows fans to participate as “Walkers” or “Survivors” as they climb, crawl, and slide their way through various zombie-infected evacuation zones. Those lucky enough to make it to the decontamination zone will have their level of infection assessed and then participate in the event’s Fan Experience.
Those participating as Walkers will be transformed into the undead by professional makeup artists, and they’ll receive “zombie training” prior to their release on the course. Keeping in the spirit of entertainment and accessibility to all, The Walking Dead Escape is not a race, and its participants will not be timed or required to run.
