 ZOMBIES are set to invade Glasgow on March 28 2012, giving us three days of terror as part of a live role-playing game called 2.8 Hours Later.

TICKETS  for the game have already sold out for the full three days it will run. However, an estimated 100 tickets which have been returned are expected to go on sale via the website on 26 March 2012 at noon on a first-come first-served basis.

The game, organised by Bristol-based Slingshot ltd, begins at an undisclosed location revealed only to ticket holders. The participants meet up, playing alone or as a group of up to eight players, and begin their very own zombie apocalypse.

For the next 2.8 hours, they must travel to various check-points across the city while avoiding hordes of zombies, who can infect them with a few touches. On completion, they finish up with an organized zombie disco that celebrates their success as survivors, or their new-found status as zombie.
