๐Ÿ•ธWe're spinning out more Halloween fun! The Spider Web Powerup is back and available now!

Humans vs. Zombies is Here!

We're excited to share a new limited-time game mode for Halloween!

๐Ÿ‘ฉHUMANS

vs.

๐ŸงŸโ€โ™‚๏ธZOMBIES

In Humans vs. Zombies Mode, students are randomly split into two teams, Humans and Zombies! You can reshuffle the teams as many times as you'd like.

Each team starts off with 700 out of 700 health! 1.5 health is automatically decreased every second. The team that survives the longest wins!

Josh wrote a blog post with more details about how this spooky new mode works:
