Ever wanted to know what it would feel like to be a zombie, or be chased by one?

Now's your chance.

Just a few days before Halloween, the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia will be transformed into an apocalyptic-themed obstacle course, called The Walking Dead Escape.

The realistic adventure will be held Oct. 27 at 6 p.m. It was created by Ruckus Sports and Skybound, and is being brought locally to Philadelphia by Live Nation.

This marks only the second time this event has ever occurred after a successful similar event taking place in San Diego earlier this year.

There are three ways to take part in this epic adventure: participants can choose to be a survivor and race through the zombie infested evacuation zone, a walker who embraces the inevitable and surrenders to the undead horde, or a spectator who watches the apocalypse from sidelines at the Escape Party.

Survivors will climb, crawl and slide in an effort to avoid confrontation by hordes of Walkers.

The Walking Dead Escape is not a race and survivors are not timed, but since the end is nearing, they must move swiftly.

If they're lucky, survivors will reach the decontamination zone where their level of infection — if any — will be determined by a confidential military scan.

Walkers will be transformed into the undead by professional makeup teams.

In addition, five-person teams will compete on a separate, walker infested course for $2,500 in prizes.

"Thousands of Walking Dead fans participated in San Diego and we promised that it wasn’t going to stop there," said Liam Brenner, founder of Ruckus Sports. "Now the people of Philadelphia are going to have their chance participate as we transform the Wells Fargo Center Complex into the early days of society's collapse."

Tickets for this event are available now through www.TheWalkingDeadEscape.com, www.WellsFargoCenterPhilly.com, and www.Livenation.com. Early registration is strongly recommended, as walk-ups may not be available on event day.
