Otley Zombie Apocalypse

Otley Zombie Apocalypse (OZA) is a community charity event like no other.
In our immersive experience, players are thrown into a world devastated by infection and chaos. Teams have to navigate real world locations in this normally quiet market town, whilst trying to find clues, solve puzzles and survive against blood thirsty undead locals, terror-stricken emergency services and desperate gun-toting rebels. This experience will mix up your senses and immerse you in a world of flat caps and rotting corpses! So almost like a normal day out in Otley.
But this is not a normal undead event! OZA is a registered small charity and our primary goal is to raise much needed funds for local causes. in 2015 we raised just over £3000 for Martin House Children’s Hospice, and we are constantly pushing the boundaries to think of new ways to raise more money each year and continue to break our previous totals.
The chosen charities for 2016 are The Otley Defibrillators and the Otley Flood Relief Fund.
What makes OZA unique is how we can do this. Each year the event is organised by a small team who give up their own free time to scout locations, create the story, publicise the event, and get the whole community involved. We are very lucky that most of the locations used are given to OZA for free, all zombies, actors and safety marshals on the night are staffed by a great team of volunteers, including many veteran scare actors with years of experience, newbies that are being a zombie for the first time, and hyperactive kids with their parents. (and, even the occasional dog!)
This combination of community inclusion and popularity has seen OZA included in Otley Town Council’s annual schedule of community events and has been advertised by the Yorkshire Tourism board for multiple years!
