Based on OZORT's original Zombie Outbreak Survival quiz, which I wrote about 5 years ago with the help of dozens of ex-military goons, survivalist nutcases, eagle scouts, and some kid who blew his face off making napalm in a tool shed and wears a mostly clear plastic hockey mask every day to keep out infection (I swear to Christ I didn't make that up). Featuring five difficult questions that rate your common sense and survival instinct, and succeptibility to believe bad advice you learned from zombie books and movies.
These questions have been heavily debated on our message board, and the answers and questions have been adjusted over the years. For those already into zombie survival, I should warn you that despite being written around the time Max Brooks' survival guide came out, this test was pretty much done before someone submitted it as a reference, and although he had some great ideas and the popularity of the book led us to reword a few questions, we didn't agree on everything. "Correct" answers are largely draw from American & British survival manuals written around the World War 2 & Cold War era, and natural disaster preparedness books from the 90s. A "Zombie Outbreak" can be swarms of living dead, or even a population massively infected by rabies or some other crazy disease.
The original quiz has been taken on our website over 50,000 times! That's 30 times a day, every day, for the last 5 years!
