## What is Zombie Outbreak Simulator?

Zombie Outbreak Simulator is a sandbox app where you can customize your own zombie outbreak. Choose from thousands of real locations around the world on Google Maps!

• "a killer timewaster" - Gizmodo
• "zombies plus Google Maps equals fun" - Games Radar
• "a splendid idea, no matter how omnipresent zombies may be" - Rock, Paper, Shotgun
• Apple Staff Favorite in the US, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Spain and 14 other countries!
• Top 5 in Simulation and Strategy on the iPad!

Watch a zombie outbreak unfold in real world environments, and alter the outbreak parameters to your liking. Do you prefer old-school slow movers, or the new fast movers? Is the population armed? How well can they shoot? How many police will be on patrol? Customize your own outbreak then watch the chaos unfold.

Zoom in and out to keep track of the infection as it spreads across the map! Watch from a high satellite view to get an overview of the infection, or zoom right in and watch as civilians run for their lives, shoot at zombies and inevitably become infected. Keep track of the people's only hope - local law enforcement, as they fight back against overwhelming odds.

Join in the action by raining fire from above with Mk81 and Mk82 bombs, delivered by A-10 Tank Killers! Parachute soldiers into the front lines to protect the civilians. Deploy helicopters to rescue civilians before they become overwhelmed.

From the Settings screen you can change the following parameters:

• Civilian numbers
• Civilian armed %
• Civilian accuracy
• Initial zombie numbers
• Zombie outbreak direction (N, E, S, W, Map Wide)
• Zombie speed
• Infection time (how long it takes for infected civs to turn into zombies)
• Number of police
• Police accuracy
• Soldier accuracy

From the Map Select screen you can choose from:

• 15 featured online maps, using Google Maps
• 5 offline maps (play anywhere even without an Internet connection)
• Over 2,500 player maps using Google Maps, created by players of the game at www.class3outbreak.com

This free version of the app contains limited features, with in-app purchases for upgrades to unlock the full functionality. Initially you have access to two maps (one online, one offline), limited outbreak settings, and limited numbers of bombs, soldiers and helicopters.

### 1/5 — Where’s the updates

*2026-08-10, version 1.7.2*

More update’s please

### 5/5 — Wonderful yet has more potential

*2026-08-08, version 1.7.2*

I love this simple little game I even bought the full items, tho I will say it will get boring after a while until I want to entertain myself when doing nothing but waiting somewhere, you could probably add more little features, maybe a vehicle option like a jeep or APC etc, there’s maybe more better ideas but after maybe spamming helis and soldiers for a while you wonder if there should be more features, maybe fun ones or experimental ones to have to play around, hell add a nuke option for the fun of it too, also maybe some fun zombies in the mix too, like special types, I hope this gives you an idea for a future update, and maybe do small but more often updates instead of big but slower updates, other than that this gives me something to entertain myself with to pass time.

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2026-07-18, version 1.7.2*

The game is really really fun. Please update more 10 out of 10 had a great experience spamming army troops to kill the zombies in my hometown.

### 1/5 — Literally have to pay to play for more than 5 minutes.

*2026-07-05, version 1.7.2*

Was fun for the tutorial.. Until I went into another game and saw I could drop 4 bombs and 2 soldiers. Played for 30 seconds more and uninstalled. Why do you have to pay for unlimited items? Make it free and add a DLC or something if you want to make money. Literally a money grab. Disgusting.

### 1/5 — Unplayable without paying

*2026-07-03, version 1.7.2*

I got this game because i thought i could be like a god and create divine interventions but nope you basically have to pay to get more people to drop on the map. When you start the game you only have 2 soldiers and 2 helicopters which are the main things in the game you cant really do anything with that amount. I dont know if there is a free way to get more but do not get this game if you are not will to pay for fun

### 3/5 — Ads don't work

*2026-06-29, version 1.7.2*

The game is great but the ads don't work and I continue to check my internet but it's not the internet one day I used the soldiers and when I tried to get more by watching ads, it didn't work. No matter where I go it doesn't work, please fix this!

### 1/5 — scam

*2026-06-18, version 1.7.2*

dont buy or even download

### 1/5 — Massive money grab

*2026-06-16, version 1.7.2*

You can’t do anything unless you pay for upgrades (nearly £10) awful game

### 5/5 — Nostalgia

*2026-06-11, version 1.7.2*

We all used to play this

### 5/5 — Phone/pc

*2026-06-09, version 1.7.2*

I love this game,I wish the mobile version was like the pc (class 3 outbreak) version,when I first played this game online you can be the civilians too and give them names or option to be police unit and can build barricades and loot the houses for wood or brick and ammo..Which made the game a lot more fun. It would be awesome if you can make the mobile version do that too.
