Nocturnal Zombie Survival in Olías del Rey

Context The Nocturnal Zombie Survival event in Olías del Rey is a live-action, immersive experience set in a real village in Toledo. Spanning approximately 8.5 hours—from 11:00 PM until sunrise—this high-adrenaline event draws up to 1,000 participants who navigate a dynamic mix of urban and natural landscapes. As darkness falls, the village transforms into a tense, atmospheric battleground. With winding streets, hidden alleys, and green spaces, the terrain demands both physical endurance and smart strategy. The moonlit environment turns familiar pathways into a shifting maze, challenging every participant’s focus and reflexes.

The Experience As night descends, players enter a full-scale live roleplay game where survival depends on speed, stealth, and sharp thinking. You’ll move through alleys and open fields, evading hordes of zombies while tracking hidden clues that lead to secret escape routes—such as a hidden helicopter or a hot-air balloon. Success requires calmness, sharp observation, and constant awareness. The silence is shattered by sudden screams, footsteps, and breathless gasps, amplifying the tension. Cool night air carries the scent of damp earth and fresh grass, adding to the realism. Every sound, shadow, and movement becomes a potential threat.
