Survive Like It's 28 Years Later: Thrill Days for Brave Souls

Let's face it - '28 Days Later' scared the daylights out of us. And now, with '28 Years Later' shambling toward cinemas like an infected on caffeine, the zombie hype is back and bloodier than ever. Whether you're a 'Walking Dead' diehard, a 'Last of Us' loyalist, or just enjoy shouting "BRAAAINS" at inappropriate moments, now's the perfect time to prep for the inevitable undead uprising.

But instead of building a bunker and hoarding beans, why not try some thrilling, real-world experiences that tap into your inner survivor? We've rounded up six unforgettable days out - available via Experiences UK - that will leave you breathless, exhilarated, and maybe a little more apocalypse-ready (minus the chainsaw arm, sorry).

Zombie Survival Experience: Outrun, Outfight, Outlive

Think you'd survive a '28 Days Later'-style outbreak? Here's your chance to find out. Dive into an immersive zombie survival scenario set in eerie, zombie packed locations.

You'll be armed, slightly terrified, and thrown headfirst into a world of the infected where teamwork, quick thinking, and not tripping over your own feet are key. If you've ever yelled "DON'T GO IN THERE!" at your screen - now's your chance to prove you'd actually do better.

Perfect for fans of: 28 Days Later, The Walking Dead, The Last of Us

Bushcraft and Survival Skills: Because Wi-Fi Won't Save You

When society crumbles, Deliveroo isn't coming. Enter: bushcraft. This back-to-nature experience teaches you how to light fires, build shelters, and maybe even identify which berries won't kill you.

Whether you're aiming to live off-grid like a woodland legend or just want to feel smug next time the power goes out, this is the ultimate "how to not die in the woods" course.

Perfect for fans of: The Last of Us, Bear Grylls, and people who own flint strikers for fun

Escape Rooms: Locked In, Freaking Out, Winning Anyway

Not every apocalypse happens in the wild. Sometimes its concrete jungles and collapsing cities - I Am Legend style. Escape rooms give you that high-pressure, puzzle-solving thrill while you pretend your team isn't panicking.

Whether it's hacking a control panel before a "viral bomb" goes off or cracking codes to escape before zombies breach the door, it's all the tension without the bite wounds.

Perfect for fans of: Resident Evil, Saw (but less murdery), and cryptic group chats

Archery Experience: Master the Daryl Dixon Aesthetic

Look, not everyone's cut out for chainsaws and flamethrowers. Archery, however, is quietly badass - and eerily effective in a world where ammo runs out fast.

Channel your inner Daryl Dixon (Walking Dead, crossbow cousin) as you take aim at targets like a post-apocalyptic Katniss. And if any unwanted 'guests' show up at your camp, you'll be ready to take aim.

Perfect for fans of: The Walking Dead, Hawkeye, or anyone with a hoodie and mysterious past

Axe Throwing: Because Sometimes You Just Need to Hit Something

Feeling a little... ragey? Good news! Axe throwing is a legit sport now - and an excellent way to train for that inevitable infected showdown. It's like darts, but angrier and with more Viking vibes.

You'll learn proper form, accuracy, and how to make a satisfying 'THWACK' sound. It's oddly soothing.

Perfect for fans of: Vikings, Skyrim, or anyone who's yelled "THIS IS SPARTA" in a serious voice

Paintball Combat: Duck, Dive, Dominate

While it might not involve the undead this time, classic paintball still delivers that end-of-the-world adrenaline rush - with fewer screams and more splatter. Picture yourself flanking through an outpost, dodging rapid fire, and yelling tactics like you're in a 'Walking Dead sequel that nobody scripted.

This is your chance to practice battlefield awareness, teamwork, and how not to get hit in the face (pro tip: always crouch). It's messy, intense, and exactly the kind of chaos you'll need to be ready for… you know, just in case society ever does go full apocalyptic.

Perfect for fans of: Call of Duty, 28 Weeks Later-style military mayhem, and anyone who wants to yell "COVER ME!" without irony

Whether you're gearing up for 28 Years Later or just want to do something way cooler than brunch, these experiences offer a fun, hands-on way to tap into your apocalyptic alter ego. From survival skills to zombie dodging and bow-slinging, there's something for every would-be survivor out there.

So grab your bug-out bag (or at least a decent pair of boots), call your bravest friends, and get stuck in - because the end of the world might not be coming, but that doesn't mean you can't train like it is.

And hey, even if the infected don't rise… at least you've got a new party trick.
