Zombie Lane download: nothing to install, how to play in 3 steps and how to spot fake files

Can you download Zombie Lane?

There is nothing to download. This edition of Zombie Lane has no installer, no launcher and no APK, and it does not ask you to add a program to your computer or an app to your phone. It runs in a current browser on a page of its own.

That also means there is no separate PC program and no offline mode to look for. You need an internet connection, because your progress is saved on the server.

Where do you really play Zombie Lane?

The only place is the game's own subdomain, zombie.fbgamesweb.com, run by FB Games as an independent beta edition. It is not the official Digital Chocolate site.

You sign up there with a username and a password, and the email is optional. There is no sign-in with Facebook, so no page that is really this edition will ever ask for your Facebook password or the password of another social network.

What were the original Zombie Lane apps?

People searching for a download are often remembering the apps. Digital Chocolate released a free version for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad in November 2011, and a free Android version also existed.

Those were separate products, and this edition has no connection to them. It does not import their saves, and it does not need them. We make no claim about whether those apps, or the Facebook version, can still be installed or opened today.

How do you spot fake Zombie Lane downloads and money tools?

Be suspicious of any .apk or .exe file that says it is this edition, of any “generator” that promises coins or cash, and of any page that asks for your Facebook password or the password of another network. Only the game's own subdomain counts.

Tools like these cannot work. The server decides the rewards and validates every action, so there is nothing on your side to change. The game does not sell its money either: you earn coins and cash by playing, or you can make a voluntary donation through a support ticket.

Searches for Zombie Lane cheats lead to the same place. There are no cheats that work, and the pages that advertise them tend to be scams or worse.

What does your browser store when you play?

The site's footer says it only uses the session cookie and the language you choose. Nothing is installed on your device.

Your browser may keep game data in its cache so that the next visit loads faster. That is ordinary browser behavior, and you can clear it whenever you want.

What should you do if you already downloaded something?

Do not open it. If you already ran it, uninstall it and scan your device with a security tool you trust. If you typed a password into a page you are not sure about, change that password right away, on every site where you use it.

If you are unsure whether a page is the real one, check that the address is the game's subdomain and nothing else. A ticket in Support can answer questions about the real site once you are signed in.

How do you start Zombie Lane in three steps without installing anything?

Step one: go to the game's own site and choose Create account and play. Step two: type a username, an email if you want, and a password of at least 8 characters, then sign in. Step three: choose your character, name it, press play and follow the tutorial with Rob.

The how-to-play guide takes it from there, and the mobile guide covers phones.
