About

Zone Tag

Read full description

Zone Tag turns the city into your playground. Split your group into teams, head out into the city and capture as many zones as you can. Every zone comes with a challenge: film something, take a photo, answer a quiz question, or do something completely ridiculous in the street. Meanwhile, another team is trying to tag you. The team with the most zones wins. But watch out: get tagged and you lose precious time. WHAT MAKES IT FUN This is not a city walk. Every zone has a challenge that fits the spot. 20 to 33 zones per city, spread across real locations. Moments you'll still be laughing about weeks later. Works for groups from six players to thirty or more. Nothing to prepare - just download and go. PERFECT FOR Company outings, team building, bachelor and bachelorette parties, student trips, birthdays and groups of friends. AVAILABLE CITIES Playable in cities across the Netherlands, with new cities added regularly. Free to download. Get your group on the map and play.
