Zombie Word Attack

Keep the garden safe

Zombie Word Attack is a goofy, kid-friendly defense game. Cartoon zombies in mismatched socks shuffle across a sunny garden toward your fence, each holding a sign with a word on it. Type the word and the zombie pops into a cloud of confetti and disappears. No scary visuals, just silly fun.

How to play Zombie Word Attack

Watch the zombies and type the word on the nearest one. When you finish the word, a flowerpot launches from your garden and sends the zombie flying. If a zombie reaches the fence, it knocks off one board, and when all the boards are gone the round ends. Backspace fixes mistyped letters.

Waves of zombies

Each wave brings more zombies and a few new types. Slow zombies carry short words, while tall ones carry longer ones. Some arrive in pairs, so you must decide quickly which to tackle first. Between waves you can pick a power-up, such as a fence repair, so you have a bit of strategy on top of the typing.

Skills you will build

• Fast target switching between several words.
• Staying accurate when the screen feels busy.
• Typing a word of any length without hesitation.
• Making quick decisions under mild pressure.

For teachers and parents

The tone is humorous rather than frightening, which makes it popular with older children. If a player finds the pace stressful, pause with Esc and take a break. A measured result from the typing test shows whether the game is helping.

A quick tip

Finish the word you started before switching. Jumping between zombies leaves several words half typed, which is slower than clearing them one by one.
