This is my first post on Nerf Haven as my account was recently just verified so I hope I do not come across as green as I am. I am glad to be a part of this community and I hope that everyone could help me with a quandry of mine.
I searched the forums for a bit if there were any topics about zombie styled nerf games and rules/suggestions and most specifically, objectives. I am planning a holiday themed zombie event for about twenty or so people this year and I am trying to come up with clever objectives that wfit the flavor of the event.
I have a suburban house built in the 70's with three entrances, a master bedroom, bathroom, dining room, living room and kitchen on the main floor, two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, and in the basement there is a bathroom, a large main room and a small side room. I have two desktop computers downstairs, an electronic dart tag flag, plenty of cell phones etc. We play with almost no lights on (except some christmas lights for the holiday flavor!).
We will be using all N-Strike products and a few products not made by Nerf for the event (specifically the scatter blast grenades). I have approximately 5 raiders, 2 stampedes, 2 rapid fires, 2 alpha troopers, a longshot, and plenty more.
I also am willing to drop a reasonable amount of money on it, especially if it is a reusable resource (we tend to do this about once a month or so).
I would like to have about ten or so boxes around my christmas tree wrapped with a lid on each that is wrapped seperately so they may be removed over and over. In a handful of the boxes and gift bags I would like to place ammo cartridges, weapons, etc. I think this would fit the flavor of the event quite well. I am toying with the idea of having a Zombie Claus come after the humans after they loot this stash but I cannot come up with a solid way to implement it.
I would also like to have four envelopes around the house with numbers on them that correspond to a locked four digit code on a cell phone that the team must find, crack and then call in backup, or something similar.
Let me know what you think! Thanks all.

Edit: I should clarify that the game should last about 30 minutes at the absolute most. It will probably be something like 4-5 humans vs 15-16 zombies. Zombies die in one shot anywhere on the body with a 5-30 second respawn depending on all kinds of different variables. I have not yet decided how many hit points to give the humans but I usually give them a medic class who can revive and generally reloads all the weapons and carries extra mags and guns, etc. They also have to find weapons for the team since it is almost pitch black and they only have a flashlight or two. I have a very mature and fair crowd so just about anything goes in terms of objective ideas, etc.
