Why we picked this?

You’ll have to search the entire institute for clues that will lead you to the wacky zombies. While searching for objects within a scene you’re able to get a closer look with the usual pinch-to-zoom gesture, and you can receive a hint if you get stuck. Don’t just tap wildly on a scene, either. It will cost you points and remove your multiplier. You’re not just on the hunt for objects, however, as you’ll also be presented with puzzles and have to spot the differences in some scenes.

If you love hunting for objects, Zombies Escape is a great addition to your collection. There’s a lot to do.

If you’re in it just for the story, you can probably skip this one.
