I went to Generation of Z last week, and having gone in with rather low expectations, came out quite impressed. It’s not particularly scary – the amount of people in the audience means you feel a certain security in numbers, but to be honest, I was quite relieved about that. It was much more of a piece of theatre than I had expected. I thought it was mainly going to be an hour of shuttling people around a building while various zombies jumped out at you. But no, there are real characters and several narratives at play. If you can, go with a few people and make a conscious effort to separate. Some people might not like the fact that there are four different story arcs happening while you can only participate in one, but if you have at least one friend in each plot line, you can compare and contrast and fill each other in afterwards on the bits you didn’t, which elongates the experience.

I like that they built in a bit of intrigue into the plot. What seems like a straightforward premise – you have stumbled into this place and the zombies are approaching, you need to get to safety – soon becomes less obvious as everything is not quite as it seems… This aspect of it was actually more spine tingling than the zombies baying at the gates.
