"It will be the holiday of a lifetime” they said.

"We're all staying on the 28th floor of the best resort on the island" laughed your mate.

That was until everyone became zombies hungry for nothing but pizza. Now there's just one left, on the entire island, and a hoard of zombies breaking down the door to eat it.

How to solve puzzles.

All the puzzles involve making lateral connections between several clue cards. For example, one clue card could contain a cipher/code and another the key to solving it. By using some pen and paper you can decode the message.

Don't worry about knowing when a puzzle is solved - trust me it's super obvious. Sometimes this is because it takes you to a website where you entered a password and it told you it was correct. Other times you'll get a piece of information that will connect to another clue.

If you get stuck players can click on the hints for the puzzle they're working on.

This puzzle's hard but doable if you can find what's missing. Cut it out and place it in the correct spot over the letters. When you do, you'll see a note around the outside of the object.

Side note: use the cutout object, not the photo with a hole left in it.

To solve the cipher carefully cut out the missing zombie and place it over the Sprite label (use the zombie itself, not the hole left in the photo). The 2 feet align to the 2 blue letter to reveal the passphrase:

Obey your hunger

This puzzle's quite hard! There's a hidden message on the stamp but it's all jumbled up. To read it you'll need to connect 2 other clues:

The zombie pile, on the base jump kit, shows the sequence of a message.
The zombie postcard connects each zombie image with one of the words.

The final message is:

We won a prize so went for walk to the beach and ate brain pizza.
