Outbreak mascot
Meet the Zombie Chicken
The Zombie Chicken is the unofficial face of the Zombival outbreak — a feral biohazard rooster that scrambles across the high school grid and pecks at any open line. Green eyes, infected feathers, no patience.
It is not just a sticker. The Zombie Chicken shows up as a recurring enemy across stages, drops into the unlockable gallery as a sealed sprite, and is the first zombie every new survivor learns to fear.

6200How to play
Draw lines. Take over. Don't get caught.
Zombival is easy to learn. You start on the safe edge of the high school grid, draw a line, close the shape and stay away from zombies.
Draw lines
Move out from the safe wall. Make a line across the school grid. Get back before a zombie touches it.
Take over
Close a shape to win that space. The more space you take, the more of the hidden picture you reveal.
Don't get caught
If a zombie hits your open line, you lose a life. Keep your cuts short, smart and fast.
Drawing zombies
How to draw a zombie in Zombival
Most people search "how to draw a zombie" looking for a pencil and a sketch tutorial. In Zombival the question has a different answer — you draw a zombie by tracing the line that traps it inside a closed shape.
You step off the safe edge of the high school grid, draw a path through the infected territory, and close the shape before the Zombie Chicken, the Zombie Cheerleader or any of the other undead reach your open line. Every closed cut takes over a slice of the screen and reveals more of the recovered outbreak artwork.
So if you ever wanted a zombie drawing that actually fights back, this is it. Draw bigger for bigger rewards, draw smaller to stay alive. The choice is yours every single line.

High school cast
Meet the high school zombie cast
The Zombival outbreak runs on a roster of high school zombies, each with its own behaviour. Below is the current cast — future updates can add more zombie types, power-ups and gallery rewards.
Zombie Cheerleader
Jumps across the grid in short bursts. Hard to predict, easy to underestimate — a classic high school zombie cheerleader who never stopped chanting.
Zombie Football Player
Tanks straight at your open line. The zombie football player does not change direction — block its lane or sprint around it.
Zombie Teacher
Slow, persistent, never lets go. The zombie teacher trails your line patiently — perfect if you forgot the homework, terrible if you forgot to close the shape.
Zombie Nurse
Backs up the rest of the cast. The zombie nurse can revive fallen undead, so taking her out of a stage usually thins the horde fast.
Zombie axe & traps
Trap a power-up inside a closed shape to activate it. The zombie axe clears a column, the zombie mask buys you a few safe seconds.
Unlock artwork
Clear a stage to open recovered outbreak art in the gallery and keep your progress moving.
Why play Zombival?
A different kind of zombie survival horde game
Most zombie survival games online are about shooting hordes. In Zombival you survive by drawing: you choose when to risk a longer line, when to play safe and when to go for a bigger score.
Short arcade runs
Play a quick stage, chase a better score and try again without account setup.
Artwork progress
Every clear can unlock another screen, so each win gives you more than points.
Easy rules, hard choices
The goal is simple, but every line asks the same question: safe cut or big reward?
Unlockable gallery
Open the recovered outbreak gallery
Play, survive and unlock. Visit the gallery page to see recovered screens, sealed files and downloadable artwork — including the Zombie Chicken sprite and the rest of the high school zombie cast.
