Zombotag
What is Zombotag?
Zombotag is an arcade chase game created by 7Spot Games, released in July 2023. Players take control of an expanding squad of undead creatures across enclosed battlefields. Instead of running away from monsters, you direct the horde itself by tracking down survivors and trapping them inside your personal infection zone. The game runs directly in any modern desktop or mobile browser with zero installation required.
Key features
- Infection perimeter: Encircle targets within your glowing indicator until the conversion gauge completes.
- Boomerang jumpers: Release leaping allies that dive toward opponents and spring directly back to your position.
- Escort mob units: March with loyal squad members who stay near your character to strike the nearest opponent.
- Arena boss encounters: Confront oversized arena leaders that test your positioning and horde management.
- Run upgrades: Gather combat enhancements between skirmishes to reinforce both your leader and followers.
- Landscape orientation: Designed for widescreen viewing across personal computers, smartphones, and tablets.
How to play
- Step onto the arena floor and spot uninfected runners roaming across open pathways.
- Navigate toward your chosen target using either W, A, S, D or arrow keys.
- Stay close to the target so they remain within your yellow indicator zone.
- Hold that position until the recruitment gauge fills and transforms them into an ally.
- Direct your expanding group of jumpers and followers toward tougher opponents.
- Defeat the stage boss to unlock power enhancements and continue through the arenas.

Unit mechanics and squad roles
Success in Zombotag relies on coordinating two distinct follower variants that support your primary character. Rather than fighting independently, these specialized teammates perform dedicated tactical duties during battle.
| Follower type | Combat behavior |
|---|---|
| Jumpers | Leap outward toward opponents before returning like boomerangs |
| Mobs | Cluster beside your leader and attack any enemy approaching closest |
Tips and strategy
- Target single runners first: Catching separated targets quickly expands your follower roster without drawing group retaliation.
- Preserve encirclement distance: Pulling away prematurely resets the infection meter, wasting precious maneuvering seconds.
- Align jumper trajectories: Orient your leader toward dense clusters so outbound jumper leaps contact multiple runners.
- Circle arena perimeter walls: Guiding prey into arena corners prevents them from escaping your infection boundary.
- Kite during boss encounters: Allow bodyguard units to engage bosses directly while keeping your vulnerable leader safely out of harm.
