Expanding your zones
Tips
Every zone you own generates money even while you are offline. Spreading across zones as your funds allow helps you grow.
- Each purchased zone becomes an additional income stream.
- Zones keep earning while you are logged off, so log in regularly to collect.

- Log in every day to collect whatever income accumulated while you were offline.
- Redeem codes whenever they are available — each one hands you extra rewards at no cost.
- Play with friends for the luck boost on rolls.

Common questions
FAQWhat should I do first when I start the game?
Finish the tutorial — it walks you through rolling, placing units, and surviving your first wave. After that, roll to build a lineup and place them to handle zombie waves. When you have enough currency from cleared waves, buy your first zone.
Does the game progress when I am not playing?
Yes. Your zones keep generating income while you are offline. Log in each day to collect what built up, then spend it on more rolls or a new zone.
Why should I play with friends?
The game gives you better luck on rolls when friends are in your session. You can also tackle harder zombie waves together.
Where do I enter redeem codes?
There is a code input area inside the game itself. Each code can only be used once per account, so enter them as soon as you find them before they expire.
