An apocalyptic-themed obstacle course will transform the Wells Fargo Center Complex into a gruesomely realistic interactive experience in The Walking Dead Escape on Saturday, October 27 at 6 p.m. The perfectly-timed Halloween-themed event was created by Ruckus Sports and Skybound, and is being brought locally to Philadelphia by Live Nation.
This marks only the second time this event has ever occurred after a successful similar event taking place in San Diego earlier this year.
There are three ways to take part in this epic adventure: participants can choose to be a Survivor and race through the zombie infested evacuation zone, a Walker who embraces the inevitable and surrenders to the undead horde, or a Spectator who watches the apocalypse from sidelines at the Escape Party. The choice is yours. Whether you run, walk, or watch, Walking Dead fans will have a front row seat to the real-life action event of a lifetime.
Survivors will climb, crawl and slide in an effort to avoid confrontation by hordes of Walkers while achieving the ultimate adventure on The Walking Dead-themed obstacle course. The Walking Dead Escape is not a race and Survivors are not timed, but the end is near and they must move swiftly. If they're lucky, Survivors will reach the decontamination zone where their level of infection - if any - will be determined by a confidential military scan. Walkers will be transformed into the undead by professional makeup teams and released on the course to haunt the living. New for the Philadelphia Escape is the “Survivor Showdown” where five-person teams will compete on a separate, walker infested course for $2,500 in prizes.
On the heels of a wildly successful event in San Diego this Summer, The Walking Dead Escape: Philadelphia is unlike any obstacle course event in the nation. Expanding on the best-selling The Walking Dead comic book series and graphic novel storylines, the Escape allows Survivors and Walkers to explore the initial days of the apocalypse.
"Thousands of Walking Dead fans participated in San Diego and we promised that it wasn’t going to stop there," said Liam Brenner, founder of Ruckus Sports. "Now the people of Philadelphia are going to have their chance participate as we transform the Wells Fargo Center Complex into the early days of society's collapse."
Tickets for this event are available now through www.TheWalkingDeadEscape.com, www.WellsFargoCenterPhilly.com, and www.Livenation.com. Early registration is strongly recommended, as walk-ups may not be available on event day.
