Humans vs. Zombies was invented in 2005 by Brad Sappington and Chris Weed at Goucher College. It is now played by about 200 students at Goucher (a school of 1,300). In 2006 and 2007, HVZ began to spread to other schools, and is now played at Kansas University, Ball State, Bolling Green University, the University of Pittsburgh, Cornell, NIU, UMass, Wesleyan, Whitman, Truman State University, and dozens colleges and high schools across the country. HVZ is played on three continents, at schools in Canada, England, Australia - and the rules have been translated into Portugese for students in Brazil to play! The game has been profiled by the Associated Press, the Washington Post, ESPN Magazine, HDNet Cable, and a number of college papers including the Goucher Quindecim. National Zombie Day was created by Brandon Mendelson of SUNY Potsdam to help promote the game, and today, it marks a common starting date for many schools' HVZ games. Humans vs. Zombies went online in the summer of 2007 to ensure equal access to the official rules and source code, and to offer resources to students looking to start games at their schools.
