The week kicks off with capture the flag at the Old Well today and culminates with Humans vs. Zombies on Friday at the Bell Tower.
Senior John Rusnak, club president, said the week appropriately concludes with Humans vs. Zombies — a game he’s played since his freshman year. It was from these large games that the club evolved.
“Humans vs. Zombies has been played on campus for a long time, but it wasn’t until this year that we began to expand from strictly Humans vs. Zombies into other games,” Rusnak said.
“At that point, we transitioned into the Urban Gaming Club, so this is sort of the start of a new era.”
The club hopes to gain recognition from the Union as an official club on campus, but for now, the group is focused on orchestrating a great event.
Junior Ali Schneider, advertising chairwoman of the club, said the Week of Games is an excellent opportunity for students to relax.
“We’re hoping to give people a week long break from the monotony and course load of the semester,” Schneider said. “But we also want to get more people involved so we can broaden our appeal and decide exactly what we can provide to the community.”
The fun and camaraderie of these games is the true purpose, Rusnak said.
