About Zombie Apocalypse bingo
Survival-themed bingo for zombie fans and preparedness lessons alike: Hand-crank radio, Supply run, Boarded windows and Emergency broadcast sit beside the undead themselves (Slow zombie, Fast zombie, Horde, Green skin). Play it at a teen Halloween party or a zombie-film night, or use the gear squares to start a real conversation about family emergency kits.
This Zombie Apocalypse list is 46 entries long and a 5x5 card with a free center takes 24, which leaves 22 off each card. That is why one entry (Bottled water, say) appears on about 16 of 30 cards: card 1, for instance, has no Canned food or Bottled water.
A host reads out one entry at a time from the printed caller sheet (all 46 of them, shuffled); players daub the square if their card has it and call bingo on a full line.

Print the Zombie Apocalypse cards
Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with Duct tape, Generator, Backpack, Walkie-talkie and Horde.
-
Print the caller sheet
All 46 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with Empty highway, Torn clothes, Survivor group, First aid kit and Fuel can; tick each one as you read it out.
-
Use the gear squares for a real lesson: after the game, check which items on the card, such as Batteries, First aid kit and Bottled water, your family kit already has.
-
Read zombie calls in character with a slow groan; the Horde, Shuffling walk and Groaning squares are funnier when the caller stays in role.
-
For a party, hide a few props (a Paper map, some Duct tape, a toy Compass) around the room and let players mark them only by finding them.
-
Call until someone shouts bingo
With 30 cards, expect the first line near call 13 (Shopping cart in this set's order) and a blackout near call 42; check the winner's squares against your ticked list.
Zombie Apocalypse bingo variations
-
Zombie Apocalypse variation
Survivor bingo: each player starts with three lives; whenever the caller draws Horde or Outbreak, players without Safe house or Barricade marked lose a life, and the last survivor or first line wins.
-
Blackout round
Card 1 needs all 24 squares, Duct tape to Hand-crank radio; on average one card fills after 45.1 of the 46 calls (98% of the deck).
-
Quick 4x4 round
A 4x4 card needs 16 of the 46 entries and no free space; one card is full after about 44.2 calls instead of 45.1.
