About
Set in a real huge Ex Government Nuclear Bunker 100ft deep underground, this is as real as it gets! Built near Brentwood, Essex in the 1950’s to house over 600 people the bunker is still fully functioning. Once you enter the grounds be prepared. Each event is packed with story driven combat against the zombie infection, armed with only your torch and your weapon will you survive? Combat will see you taking on different types of infected in the base, will you be cunning enough to escape the ‘Screamer’ tough enough to take on the ‘Armour’ and fast enough to escape the ‘The Experiment’

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

An awesome experience. Seriously scary, and seriously good fun. Think Secret Cinema but with guns and zombies. We came as a larger stag group but they broke us up into smaller groups to ensure everyone got a good experience. The acting and commitment from the Last Survivors Team was brilliant, entertaining and intense in equal measure, they all got a round of applause at the end! (not sure how they had the energy for another 2 sessions!) Plus the setting is like no other.
My only advice to is try to get into character (if you are that way inclined) as you start to enhance the experience, but regardless I couldn't recommend this highly enough.
Keep up the good work Tony and the team!

The fear of the scare started as soon as we had booked the tickets.
The scary experience started as soon as we arrived on site and waited for our mission instructions. In the dark. In the middle of nowhere.
The mission become our reality.
The scare factor was through the roof.
I found brave people in our group to take on particular tasks when my heart was beating so fast I needed Zombie protection.
The group, including a couple we met tonight, worked together so as to accommodate everyone’s tolerance of the fear factor.
I lost track of time and had no chance to think of anything outside the mission.
The duration was spot on, around 2.5 hours.
At the end the round of applause for the actors was well deserved.
It was a totally immersive experience thanks to the great company of actors.
They were zombies, real zombies.
I will recommend this to my friends and my family but not my mother. My mother is the one person I know who could not handle the scare level. She’d be screaming from the start of the journey to the bunker until the end of the mission. Everyone else can handle it.
Be brave.
When the mission changes I will certainly be rebooking.
That initial fear has now turned into a great memory and a huge smile.
Tips:
1. You can take some water and leave it in a convenient place.
2. You have access to toilets throughout.
3. You get hot and excited and you can take off layers during the mission and keep them in a safe place. It’s warm in the bunker.
4. You are in a bunker, you will have no phone signal so you leave it in the car.
5. Wear comfy clothes.
6. Go with the flow and the mission will take you into the zombie reality.

So much to compliment, where do I begin?
The event staff were amazing. They didn't throw you straight into the roleplay which for the more nervous of our party was really appreciated. The immersion really started once you were in the building after briefing and use of the facilities.
I agree with one of the previous reviews, lean into the roleplay side of things as it really adds to the experience especially with a group of good friends.
The environment and the bunker itself was so creepy and atmospheric but so cool. You really can't see much in there but it adds to the feel.
For anyone who is nervous but are pretty sure they'll have a good time: Once you're in and get a flavour of what to expect and how the guns handle you'll love it from there onwards.
The weapons were easy to use air guns which meant we only had to worry about general safety between each other and the actors as opposed to taking firearms training and wearing a bunch of safety gear.
The objectives were straightforward and clear with room for our teams of two to split up into various areas due to how big the bunker is.
I got to live out my Last of Us dreams against one of the zombies in a stealth scenario and would love to come back and do it all again. Thanks for having us!

One of the best zombies experiences I have ever been to! The location is fantastic and the team are amazing - the atmosphere is set the second you reach the car park and once you're inside the bunker it all feels so real! Can't wait to go back!

We bought this for my Son a part of a birthday present. Near the time he asked if I would like to come and not one to miss out on some ‘Dad Time’ I thought it would be s good laugh. Laugh it was not! From the moment you arrive the team are in character.
I have a vivid imagination and got into my own character quite quickly. At times I was genuinely scared and the Adrenalin was pumping. EVERYONE at last survivors was brilliant and the Zombies were amazing. If we had zombies they would be like these guys. I am not going to mention anything specific of what we did because the less you know the better it will be! Strange I am thanking someone who scared the living daylights out of me...can’t wait to do ‘The Labs’. Thanks for a memorable evening!

An absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. It's like being in the movie 'Aliens' but with Zombies. There's simply nothing like this out there. The setting is so atmospheric and creepy as you try to navigate a nuclear bunker in meltdown.
This is a first class attraction and a game changer in the world of scare attraction. It's so much more than scare event though, it's almost like a computer game shoot em up with real terror around every corner. The staff are excellent and the memories you will come away with will inspire you to go back without doubt.
Many years ago the Trocadero had an experience called 'Alien War' which allowed you take on the xenomorph creatures with the bada## marines. It was a very frightening and clever blend of Sfx and performance. This is reminiscent of that but much more memorable and substantially longer in duration. If there's a special celebration you're looking for, something totally different and exciting - this is it!
Highly recommended!

Its safe to say The last survivors has to be the best zombie experience by far in the country. With its amazing location, well thought out storyline and incredible actors. This has to be a once in a lifetime experience not to be missed by any zombie fan.

In short, for those who want to stop watching zombie films and playing survival horror games, and start living the experience, the Last Survivors is an absolute must. It is an event which can not be recommended enough to anyone who is a fan of the zombie genre. The site is idyllic, the actors passionate and compelling, and the fear, well the fear was real. What the Last Survivors have created at Kelvedon Hatch is an experience unlike anything else; remarkably tense, thrilling and enjoyable. Saying that this is a once in a life time experience is a injustice to the organisers, as it's an event that I would eagerly go to again.

This is a great activity set in a real former nuclear bunker. The staff are awesome and it's really easy to believe that zombies have taken over the facility! It's as close to Resident Evil as you can get without real infected rising up!! 2.5 hours well spent. Great time.

As the soldiers arrive to take you into the facility you get a sense of what is to come. By the time you're armed, briefed and ready to go you already feel in the mood to get some payback for the zombie apocalypse - just don't let them get you first. As you move through the bunker in almost total darkness, to carry out your mission, every shadow takes on a new persona and once the screaming starts the fear is real. Just don't get separated from you're team, because once you're on your own you could be someone or something's next meal. An adrenalin rush at it very best.

what sort of guns do you use? i dont want to use paintball! is it airsoft?

Our old experience used airsoft guns. We now use specially modified paintball guns, but they do not fire any paintballs. Our zombies are trained to feel the blast of air from the guns as they only go down with a headshot. They are very loud and eye protection is not needed as nothing is fired.

I would like to take my son. What is the age restrictions
Written 19 October 2017
Antony W
Hertford, United Kingdom
If attending on his own, 16+
If there is an adult present (someone over 18) 14+
The event is quite scary so that is the reason for the age restrictions. For more information please visit the website FAQ page.
Thanks
