On Saturday at Dimple Dunes Mini Golf the slush machine made a new flavour all by itself, Pond Slush, and everybody who drank it turned green, stuck both arms out and began to groan "Snoooooze". Now the zombies are fast asleep on their feet, and the Great Zombie Snooze lasts 60 minutes. The Great Zombie Snooze is a funny printable zombie escape room party game for ages 10 to 14 and the family.
How it plays
- Three crews each play four holes of the course, side by side. Every hole is a different kind of puzzle and gives a code.
- The Scoreboard checks the code. Same little picture as on the puzzle page? The next envelope may be opened. No host is needed to check answers.
- Every solved puzzle wins a cure card. With four cards a crew mixes its jug.
- All crews pour into the Slush Machine, solve the last lock together and shout the wake-up call.
The puzzles
There are 16 puzzles, easy to harder: twelve holes of twelve kinds, then three Mixing Jugs and the Slush Machine finale. Six kinds are math pyramids (adding, a maze of prime numbers, plus and minus numbers, dollars and cents, multiplying, and card pyramids), and the rest include a bounce puzzle, a zombie cipher, a logic grid and a turning Windmill Wheel. The maths is for ages 10 to 14: adding to 1,000, times tables, prime numbers under 100, money, simple fractions and percents.
