Couch Co-op Survival Mayhem

Box Zombies is a chaotic, easy-to-learn, co-op survival game for 1 to 4 players. Fight through massive zombie hordes, explore both randomly generated and handcrafted maps, and build defenses to survive escalating day/night cycles.

"The kind of game where everyone's laughing, someone's yelling, and nobody wants to stop playing."

The shared camera is the heart of the game: every player shares one screen meaning that every discovery, narrow escape, and desperate last stand plays out together.

Key Features

• Built for Co-Op: Up to 4 players on one shared screen. The camera keeps everyone together, so cooperation is survival. But watch out for stray bullets and bouncing grenades!

• Fresh Every Run: Randomized maps, weapon spawns, and powerups keep every session fresh. Every 3 rounds, a whole new map loads in and the exploration starts again.

• Massive Hordes: Day/night cycles shift the pacing and tension. Every 3rd round brings a Mega Zombie wave with bigger, tougher enemies that grow in number each time they appear. Survive long enough and the screen becomes pure chaos.

• 14+ Weapons and Defenses: Discover rifles, explosives, sentry guns, barricades, and more. Stock up on ammo before the round ends or hope your favorite weapon spawns in the next map.

• 20+ Unlockable Characters: Unlock a diverse roster of characters through in-game challenges. No paid unlocks or loot boxes. Every character earned through skill.

• Party Ready: Simple controls mean anyone can jump in and have fun no matter their skill level. Designed for game nights and drop-in party play.

Common Questions

Is there online co-op?

Yes! Online play is supported via Steam Remote Play Together.

How do maps work?

The game includes both premade maps and procedurally generated maps that change every 3rd round. On premade maps, players can find ammo stores for weapons unlocked through powerups.

Can I turn blood off?

Yes, there's a blood toggle in the Settings menu, making it suitable for all audiences.

Is this the same as the mobile game?

Box Zombies started as a mobile game, which is still free on iOS and Android. The PC version is a near-complete rewrite: more stable, more polished, and built around 4 player couch play.

From the Developer

Thanks for checking out Box Zombies. This game is inspired by BoxHead Zombies 2Player, a Flash game I played with my best friend when we were young. Building Box Zombies has been a passion project and an incredible learning experience.

I love hearing feedback, ideas, and bug reports, so please feel free to reach out. Thanks for playing!
