Hello Contaminated Creators,

What is that eerie feeling in the air? What are those orange vegetables we’re seeing in shop frontages? And what’s with all the cotton wool spider web mimicry hither and thither? Ah yes, it’s almost Ndemic’s favourite time of year: Halloween!

The best thing about this fright-flavoured festival is that there’s no one definitive way to celebrate it. Some will throw raucous parties, others will go trick-or-treating, and yet more will gather some pals to spend a night or two filling their eyeballs with frightening filmic delights.

But what’s the best way to celebrate All Hallows'? Why, to play through the most popular scenarios of the month, of course!

This month’s cauldron of creepy scenarios contains a pick-and-mix of the delicious, the ridiculous and the outright terrifying, covering everything from a Nuclear War to the sheer wrath of a Troll Plague. Perhaps the spookiest of them all is the scenario about Fat Yoshi. What’s more terrifying than something both cute AND destructive? Witch of these petrifying premises takes your fancy? Take a peek below and see if any jump(scare) out at you...

If your scenario made the top 10 for this month, well done! You are now an online hero. A giver of content. A creator of chaos. A destroyer of worlds.

Think you’ve got what it takes to make next month’s top 10 popular scenarios list? Unleash the disease living inside of you and visit the Plague Inc: Evolved Scenario Creator today. Who knows? Your idea might just be infectious.

Stay healthy and stay spooky!

In Rebel Inc: Escalation, the war is ‘over’ - but we all know that doesn't mean anything. In order to stabilise a war-torn country, you need to balance competing military and civilian priorities to win the hearts and minds of the people, whilst also stopping a deadly insurgency from seizing power!



Following on from the global mega hit 'Plague Inc.' with over 130 million players, Rebel Inc: Escalation offers a deeply engaging, strategic challenge inspired by the complexities and consequences of modern counter insurgency. It has received acclaim from international development experts and was even featured at a major international peace conference!

“Rebel Inc. lets everyone wrestle with the messy challenges of post-conflict recovery and better understand the complex realities of building peace.” - World Bank Global Lead for Stability, Peace and Security

Rebel Inc: Escalation will combine the original’s critically acclaimed gameplay with significant, all-new features for PC including a campaign, multiplayer, steam workshop support, improved graphics and lots more.

Head to Rebel Inc: Escalation’s Steam page right here now!

Hi Diseased Devotees!

The leaves are changing colour, cardigans are no longer an inappropriate clothing choice, and the annual pumpkin spice debate has already commenced. It must be autumn! If the season wasn’t accompanied by a smorgasboard of snotty, sniffly, and slimy sickness ,it would be just perfect.

Speaking of being horribly ill, there’ve been some strange symptoms circulating the Ndemic office of late... Our knees are weak, our arms are heavy. What could this mean? It can’t be… It’s one of this month’s featured scenarios, Mom’s Spaghetti!

As always, the 10 most popular player-created scenarios from the last month are a weird, wacky and oh-so-wonderful lot. Where else could you find a classic Eminem related meme lurking the leaderboards? Take a gander below and find yourself something to enjoy!

Hello there Microbial Mates!

As time continues to escape us here at Office Zero, we’re reminded that life is short and that time should be occupied only by things that make you feel wonderful. Experts suggest that you should develop lasting relationships with your family and friends, bask in the pleasure of a healthy lifestyle, delight in the great outdoors, and pursue your passions unrelentingly. Sure, it’s a nice sentiment, but who’s got the time for all of that when there are so many sickening scenarios to enjoy! If only there were a list of the most popular scenarios for you to choose from...

Wait… Can you smell that? The smell of dramatic disorders and peculiar pop-culture references? We think there might be a freshly baked batch of scenarios ready for consumption!

Congratulations to all you lovely people with a featured scenario this month- including those who took the time to make a scenario based on one niche and oddly specific meme about beautiful chickens. We have so many questions about it that we don’t want to ask.

As always, we’ll be keeping an eye on the most popular scenarios next month, so if you want to see your scenario on this list, then get making in the Plague Inc: Evolved Scenario Creator today!

Stay healthy,

Hi Apocalyptic Associates!

Do you hear that? It’s the sound of people queueing for overpriced ice cream, playing their music too loud in cars and parks and complaining about late, sweaty and packed public transport… this can only mean one thing. It’s finally summer! What better time to shut yourself in a dark room and obliterate all life on earth?

We’ve taken a break from the burning hot sun to enjoy some of your shocking scenarios, and we’re glad to confirm that you’re still… how do we put this nicely… notably noxious? Seriously. Your parents are worried about you.

Familial disappointment aside, we’re delighted to bring you the top ten scenarios of the past month. The eclectic list below features everything from bubbles to flex tape. Wait a second, flex tape? Again? You all seem pretty hellbent on this flex tape thing. At this point, all we can do is pretend we understand it. Flex tape? Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh my god, flex tape! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Flex tape! Hahahahahahahaha-

Congratulations to all of the marvelous makers listed above. Your reward is that you are now slightly more cool than you were before.

Fancy being on this list next month? Then we challenge you to make your own scenario! We long for your insatiable creativity and fresh ideas (unless you’re making another flex tape scenario. Pretty sure we’ve got that covered). Head on over to Plague Inc: Evolved and use the Scenario Creator to build your own Custom Scenario today!

Until next time, stay healthy!

Hi Virulent Victims,

And you thought we had forgotten you and all of your beautiful/terrifying Custom Scenarios. Not a bit of it. We’ve just been a bit tied up with another exciting project of late: Plague Inc: Armageddon, the first major expansion for Plague Inc: The Board Game. Give that link a click to get an eyeful of two new disease types, a whole bunch of new traits and events, Brexit Britain and loads more (and to order your copy!).

Ahem. Shameless plugs aside, we’ve also had been panning for Scenario gold through the Workshop-river. And look what we found! It’s only the ten most popular Custom Scenarios of the last 30 days!

Exciting news - the first expansion for Plague Inc: The Board Game has been successfully Kickstarted! Armageddon is coming!



Plague Inc: Armageddon is the first major expansion for the critically acclaimed Plague Inc: The Board Game. In it you can infect the world with two radically different disease types (Bioweapon and Fungus), use powerful game-changing genes, deal with Brexit Britain and a whole lot more.

Get ready to laugh as global vaccination rates drop, cry as your friend evolves a particularly lethal strain of athlete's foot and cheer as your bioweapon devastates entire continents in a single turn!

Armageddon takes Plague Inc. to the next level, supporting new play styles, expanding strategic choices as well as adding more variety to an already extremely replayable game. It also lets you play with an extra player!

For all the details on Plague Inc: Armageddon, including what comes in the box, and how the new disease types work, check out the Kickstarter page here.

And if you want to get involved - you can pre-order it now here!

Stay Healthy,

Hi Pathogenic Pals!

They say that the eyes are a window to the soul. Well, judging by the proliferation of dubious anime trappings, memes and videogame-themed zombie apocalypses, we don’t really want to know what your Plague Inc. Scenarios are a window to.

Oh, who are we kidding, yes we do.

Each month we stare lovingly into the abyss (AKA the internet) in order to discern the top ten most popular Plague Inc. Custom Scenarios from the last 30 days. Take a deep breath, load up the game and prepare yourself for this month's infectious selection:

Get building and show us what you’ve got!

In the meantime, stay healthy everyone, and see you next month!

Hi Contaminated Creators!

Can we still say Happy New Year even though it’s a full month since our collective existence took another tangible atrophic step towards the heat death of the universe? We don’t care, we’ll say it anyway: Happy New Year!

Who knows? Maybe your creation will storm the popular scenarios chart next time?

In the meantime, stay healthy everyone, and see you next month!
