Solve puzzles or get eaten by a 'zombie'

A theater show offered in more than a dozen cities across the US encourages participants to channel their inner Sherlock Holmes in an end-of-the-world team game-building exercise.

Trapped in a Room With a Zombie is a "room-escape" experience, versions of which are offered in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle and other cities.

During the show, up to a dozen people are ushered into a room and locked inside for an hour alongside a supposedly bloodthirsty zombie (played by an actor), who is chained to a wall.
