An adventure to experience alone or in teams

The principle is simple. Participants must collect 17 markers scattered throughout the woods, “without having the little ribbons attached to their waists torn off” specifies Bastien Vaucan, the president of the association. The forest is inhabited by a horde the zombiesinhabitants of Salviac who disappeared in search of lives to be reborn.

Each candidate has three life ribbons. “The entire race takes place in the forest. To save yourself, you must collect as many beacons as possible without losing any life. The goal is to scare people, to put a little pressure on them. It's a game, it's family. You can do the course by walking, you don't have to run. Participants have a set time, and lose a beacon every two minutes when this time is exceeded. »

So that the immersion is as complete as possible, the organizers will install sound systems in the forest to broadcast horrible noises.
