Led by our intrepid zombie wanglers Shaun and Ed, participants will walk, shamble and moan in a semi-orderly fashion through the streets of Indy. Zombie makeup and attire optional but strongly encouraged. All ages are welcome to join us at this free event.

Bring your favorite D20, which will be inspected by our Dice Expert for tampering. Limit of 1" in diameter. Each participant will roll his die at least 24" on the championship playing surface.
