The zombie apocalypse has hit Dublin, and you’re right in the middle of it. Zombie Scavengers drops you into the city with an app, a mission, and a leaderboard to climb. You’ll hunt down items scattered across Dublin, earn points for finding them, and take on zombie-themed challenges inside the app for even more. There’s real strategy here - you’ll need to decide where to go and what to tackle first if you want to come out on top.
Your remote survival guide is available via chat throughout the whole thing, so if you hit a wall or need a nudge in the right direction, help is only a message away.
Within 24 hours of booking, you’ll get a message through Viator/Tripadvisor with everything you need to get started.
Pick your starting position carefully. The app gives you a suggested starting point, but the decisions you make from there shape everything. Think about the geography of the city before you dive in - clusters of central stops around Temple Bar and Dame Street are walkable in quick succession, while spots further afield require a bit more planning.
This works brilliantly for groups who know Dublin a little. If you’ve already done a walking tour or wandered the main streets, you’ll have a real advantage - you’ll recognise landmarks faster and spend less time getting your bearings, which means more time earning points.
Don’t underestimate the in-app challenges. The scavenger hunt element is only part of the scoring. The zombie-themed challenges inside the app can swing the leaderboard, so don’t skip them in favour of covering more ground. Read each one before you decide.
Go on a weekday if you can. Dublin’s city centre gets genuinely busy on weekend afternoons, particularly around Grafton Street and Temple Bar. A weekday morning gives you cleaner sightlines, easier photo opportunities, and a slightly less chaotic backdrop for the whole thing.
Your survival guide is there to use. Some people treat the chat support as a last resort, but there’s no penalty for reaching out early. If you’re unsure whether you’ve found the right spot or completed a challenge correctly, just ask - that’s what the guide is for.
