NOTE: A4LG currently has the lead with 17 Days 7 Hours and 00 Minutes. Congratulations! I'm not giving up, though. At first I said this was the final version of this Guide, but as long as people keep coming up with more time, I'll keep updating the Guide (if I can ever figure out how they got more time)

This Guide contains the Strategy I used to get my current record of 17 Days 5 Hours 3 Minutes, which had a Target Time of 17 Days 6 Hours 30 Minutes (yes, I took damage after Day 8).

NOTE 2: This Guide has been updated with MicroPlanetman's strategy for Brad and Jeff on Day 8.


This is a Master Level Guide. I do not recommend you try
this until you have at least gotten more than 7 Day Survivor, because the
hardest part of this event is surviving the boredom that follows Day 8.



This Guide has several important requirements:



IMPORTANT NOTE: This Guide refers to the Life Blocks starting from the last one (12th according to the game)
in reverse order. That is, the 12th block is the first block, the 11th block is the second, and the 10th block
is the third. So the first block to deplete is the first block. Don't ask how that got started LOL.



Day 1


When the game loads and you start in the Security Room, grab the MegaBuster and
the Laser Sword and head for Entrance Plaza to get the Health 2 book, then return to the Security Room.
Paul is at the far end, but don't worry about him right now.

Head back through the Security Room and out the vent to the Rooftop for Otis.
Kill Otis and take his Raw Meat, then hit the elevator into the Warehouse.
Make your way around to Susan to get her Cookies. These
are a little insurance for you, but Susan is not a required stop.

TIP: There are several places throughout this Guide
where you will be able to make up health losses from taking damage.
There are also times when you can get someone that is not a Target to give
yourself a Time Bonus: eating their food 15 minutes after the hour will give you
a 15 minute Time Bonus at the next Scheduled Eating Time.
The times stated in this Guide will not include those Time Bonuses except where
specifically stated.



Head out into Paradise Plaza and then go left towards Entrance Plaza. You're going to
take out Paul.

Run for the escalators and go to the top level. I usually Flip Kick onto the railing
and then hop onto the palm tree, but you can do as you wish. You'll need to find a place
to avoid Paul's RC Cars while you snipe him with the MegaBuster. He'll dodge your
shots, so it might take a bit of work.

Once he's down, gather his food (Steak, OJ, Squash) and head back to Paradise Plaza.

Take the shortcut in the Paradise Plaza women's restroom to Wonderland Plaza.
Skip the Health 1 book for now and head straight for Carlito in Food Court.

Hop the wall into That's A Spicy Meatball and cook Otis' Raw Meat, then head to the
outer edge of the cooking area just before the last column. Aim just above the left corner
of the balcony where the giant Bee Sheriff bust is and shoot Carlito. You'll hear him scream
as he dies.

Climb the balcony to collect his food (Steak, Yogurt, Snacks) and his SMG.

Now you're headed back to Wonderland for the Health 1 book.

When you get to Wonderland, go up the stairs by Sir Book-A-Lot for H1, then take the
bridge across towards The Lens Zen, and the back passage beyond that to get to
North Plaza and the Survival Book in the empty store next to Crislip's Home
Saloon.

Now you've got all 3 books, some food, and a weapon, and it should be nearly 2AM.
Eat if you have to.

Now head out to Leisure Park to face the Hall Family.
Once outside, run along the right wall to get to the red car in the Parking Area.
Don't stop to fire at the Halls, they can hit you before you can even focus on
them.
Once you've got the red car, run the Hall Family over with it. Once they're dead,
drive past their boxes to open them, then park near the Red Roof picnic area.

Climb up on the roof and drop the 3 books, and all the food EXCEPT the squash
(alternatively, you can eat Susan's Cookies and Paul's Squash before dropping
the books, since you should be ready to eat by now).

Once you have 10 free item slots, pick up all the Hall Family's food and one
Sniper Rifle (you can get them all if you want to snipe zombies to pass the time).
Drop their food on the roof except for the Oranges (they roll), and pick up the
3 books.

Assuming you've eaten Susan's Cookies and Paul's Squash already, your inventory
should now look something like this:
You're in a safe spot and can rearrange your inventory to suit your playing
style (I like to keep the next item I'm going to eat right next to the MB, so
I can get to it quickly).

TIP: Throughout this Guide, you will see items named
for who they came from, such as Steak(P) to indicate the Well Done Steak
obtained from Paul. Since you will eventually have 3 Steaks from at least 3
different appearances of Carlito, these will be named Steak(C) or Steak(C1),
Steak(C2), Steak(C3), or Steak(TC) for "Truck Carlito" (found in the Maintenance
Tunnels from Day 1 - Day 4).
As well, the Hall Family are Roger, Jack, and Thomas, so their food items will
be named for each of them.

Use the Sniper Rifle to check the time on the clock tower, it should be about
3AM, and you should be 1 hour (3 blocks) down. Eat Cookies(R) to fill up, then
Cookies(J) to fill up an hour from now.
You should eat the smaller, 1 hour items first, since it takes more of them to
fill you up, so eating the Cookies first means you aren't leaving behind a 4-hour
item to get to someone else on time.

To make a long story short, you'll eat all 3 Cookies, 3 Oranges, and the Yogurt before leaving
Leisure Park, so keep an eye on the clock and your Life.

Now it's about 1PM and you're ready to move on. Make sure you're carrying all
the food.

From here on, Health1 will be referred to as H1, Health2
as H2, the MegaBuster as MB, and the Survival Book as Survival.

Your next target is Larry in the Meat Processing Area (Butcher Shop).
Hop in the car and race to the Butcher Shop (Meat Processing Area on the map).
As soon as you get there, circle around the crowd so that the driver's door is
right next to the Butcher Shop Door - this way you don't waste time getting
hurt in the crowd.

As soon as the Loading Screen comes up, push Right and the X button, because
Larry will be on your right as soon as the screen loads. You HAVE to get him
before he gets you, and before he gets away. Remember, this room is always
loaded with zombies, so you don't have time to fight Larry. You only have enough
time to kill him with 2 hits, because he'll murder you with slabs of meat or his
giant cleaver.

Once he's dead, clear the room of zombies with the Laser Sword, then camp on top
of the fridge near the steamers at the back of the room with Larry's food.

Eat Larry's Orange and Yogurt, leave the Laser Sword, and head out.
If you've taken damage, or are otherwise not on schedule, or if you need to eat
something to get a few minutes ahead, get Dana in Paradise Plaza to make up
your time. Her Thawed Veggies are worth 1 Hour, so if all you need is 20 minutes
or so, go ahead and eat them at the appropriate time.

Hang around Paradise Plaza until 7PM, unless you need a new MB, in which case, go get one.
Your next target is Adam in Wonderland.

Take the restroom shortcut to Wonderland Plaza.
As you come into Wonderland, climb on top of the Fine Cut booth and aim towards
the Play Park. You'll see Adam coming through the crowd, and may be able to get
a few shots on him before he gets to you. It may take a few minutes for him to
get to you, but as long as it's 7PM or later, keep aiming towards the Space
Rider - he'll be there eventually. If one hour of your Life ticks down and
he doesn't show, take the restroom shortcut back and then come right back
to Wonderland - the game may be "stuck".

As long as you stay on the roof, he cannot get you. You might have to get near
the edge so you can aim down on him, and he'll block most of your shots but still
take damage. Just remember to kill him before the zombies do! Clear them out if
you have to.

Once he's dead, drop 5 items on the roof and hop down for his food and 2
chainsaws. You will NOT be keeping the small chainsaws! Run around with them if
you want to kill time and save MegaBuster shots, but you will not be keeping
them.

Eat Adam's Japanese Radish, then the OJ and one Pizza.
Take Adam's Untouchable and Pizza(A) and head back through the restroom shortcut to PP.

Day 2


Your first target today is Mindy on the Rooftop.
Head into the Warehouse from PP and then climb the racks to the Rooftop,
and Mindy is down by the corner. Shoot her and take her Orange, then head into the S.R.

Eat her Orange to even out your time to about 3AM or 3:30AM, whichever you can get.

Now head out to E.P. for Sniper Carlito.
He's down at the far end, so stand behind the pillar on the right side the Bee Clock
and wait. He'll work his way to you.

You'll hear him yell as the zombies swat him, and he'll step out towards Robsaka Digital.
This is where you step out and shoot him.
Once he's down, go up and make sure you got him and not the zombies. If they got
him, you don't get the food.

We'll assume you got him.

Camp on the bookshelf in The Sinister Read and wait until you're 6 blocks down, then
eat his Corn and Snacks, then trade the MB for the Steak and go back to the S.R.

Wait here and eat a Pizza at about 9AM, then hit the Rooftop.
Go into Paradise Plaza, then head for Al Fresca through Entrance Plaza to get
Isabela.
As soon as you get in Al Fresca, head for the fountain. The zombies surrounding
the fountain should provide cover from Isabela's gunfire, but a few shots may
still get through, so you should try to get her as quickly as possible, but
DO NOT leave the fountain until she's dead.

Isabela will ride back and forth around the fountain trying to make you waste ammo.
She will stop at each of the 4 sides where the steps are and shoot at you. If you
can clear the zombies from one or two sets of stairs you'll leave yourself open,
but you'll also have a clear shot at her. If you can hit her with two shots from the
MegaBuster, she's dead.

Alternatively, you can simply charge towards the left side of the fountain and shoot
her as she comes riding into the area. Good luck.

Once she's down, clear the zombies away from the fountain, drop 4 items in the
fountain, and gather her food and her Shotgun. If you can grab a Queen, do it.

Eat her Cookies, Milk, and a Pizza.


At about 6PM, hop on her motorcycle and ride it down to Food Court. Get Rich in here
if you need to.
Continue through Wonderland to North Plaza, then to Crislip's Home Saloon for Cliff.

Eat his Cabbage and Baguette and the last Pizza, then head out to North Plaza and Leisure Park.

Go to Paradise Plaza, then the Warehouse, up to the Rooftop, and Jo will come around the far corner.

Shoot her and kill all the zombies on the rooftop, then gather her food and camp on the ledge
by the vent.
Eat her Lettuce, Melon, and a Steak, then trade the Megabuster for her
Zombait and enter the Security Room (Don't forget to pick up your food!)




Day 3


Greg is in the Security Room if you need a time bonus.
If you don't need it, hang around in the Security Room and drink the Zombait at about 7AM.

Go into the Warehouse and get Beth. Eat her Japanese Radish and head out to Paradise for Kent.

Once he's down, drop 3 items and gather his food on the blue ledge over Kids' Choice Clothing.

Eat his Pie, Creamer, and a Steak at 5PM, drop H2, then head for Gil in Entrance Plaza.
Take Gil's Wine and head for H2, then camp in the SR and drink it about 9PM.

Now you're headed to Wonderland for Sean. Drop H1 and take the RLS. You'll need it later.

Take the restroom shortcut in Paradise to Wonderland and wait for Sean on top of
Fine Cut or Beautification.

Once he's down, get H1 and eat his Corn and Cheese, and that leads to Day 4.


Day 4


Eat a Steak and head for North Plaza via the rear entrance behind The Lens Zen.
Drop all your food in the Survival Book Room and get the Survival Book.
Use the RLS to clear a path to Huntin' Shack, then use the door as cover to shoot Cletus.
Get all 4 Shotguns and his food, then go back to the Book Room.

Eat his Grapefruit, Wine, and a Steak, then drop H1 to take a Shotgun to WP.
Use the shotgun to clear a path and save MB ammo. Get H1 in Wonderland, then head for
Food Court for Steven. If you're behind schedule (it should be 4PM) get Ross in Paradise Plaza first.

Once Steven's down, drop 3 items on the balcony where Rich and Carlito were earlier
and gather Steven's food.

Eat the Zucchini, the Milk, and a Steak, then head for Paradise Plaza.

Get Kay in the Warehouse if it's before 11:30PM, then head down into the Maintenance Tunnels for Truck Carlito.

When you enter the Maintenance Tunnel, take the elevator down to clear out
the zombies in the stairwell.

Step out into the Tunnels and watch for Truck Carlito. When he gets in range,
blast him. When his life is halfway down he'll try to flee, but if you can kill
him while the truck is moving and before he does flee, you'll be much happier.
When he runs away, he gives the zombies time to pile up around you. If you kill
him at a dead stop, his Steak will invariably land on top of the truck and not
come down - you'll have to take the white car to the other truck and ram his
truck to get it down, but as soon as you leave the area fills with zombies.
So it's far better to get him quickly.

Alternatively, the Steak may land on the windshield of the truck, or the hood.
If this happens, it will slowly slide down until it falls to the ground.
You may be able to dislodge it with the White Car instead of having to go all
the way to the other truck.

Once he's dead, go into the stairwell and drop 3 items on the landing, then get his food.
Go up the stairs a bit further and drop 3 items, then back down to get the
first 3 items and bring them upstairs. You'll have to camp in the hallway for a
bit, but as long as you're in the hall near the door to Paradise Plaza, you should be safe.
I've never had any zombies come up the steps and get me, but you never know.

Eat Carlito's Snack, Cabbage, and Steak(TC) and that leads to Day 5.


Day 5


Start the day by getting a new Laser Sword, then head for Todd on the Helipad.

Note the Security Room and the hallway will be filled with zombies.
Eat Todd's Thawed Veggies, then head down to the Security Room and out to EP for Simone.
Drink her Milk and then head back into the Security Room for Chris.

Once he's dead, and it's time, eat his Melon and go to the Warehouse to get Natalie.
Eat her Corn, then go get Yuu in the Butcher Shop.
Eat his Cabbage, then head back to Movieland for Heather.
Eat her Baguette, then head for a new MegaBuster.


Camp in the Security Room and eat a Steak and it should be time to leave.
Take the RLS as you'll have room for it.

Now head for Crislip's Home Saloon, where Zombie Barnaby is waiting.

Once he's down and the area is clear, drop three items behind the counter and gather his food.

Eat his Spoiled Meat and Rotten Pizza, then trade the Survival Book for the Apple and head for North Plaza.
Go towards Huntin Shack to get Brett.

He might be in one of the empty rooms off the hallway, or he might be in the
hallway itself. If he's in the hall, and you come running around that last
corner, you could get a face full of shotgun, so peek around the corner first.

Once he's down, take his Pizza(Brt) and Shotgun, then blast your way back to the
Survival Book room.

Eat the Apple and it should be about 11:30PM, and head for the Park.

Go into Paradise Plaza and head for Lilly. She's upstairs at Tucci's Of Rome.

Blast her and wait till Day 6.


Day 6


Eat Lilly's Melon, then Brett's Pizza at about 1:30AM, then head for
Kent in the Warehouse. Don't worry that you're eating the Pizza so early. It's excess food.


The easiest way I've found to kill him here is to stand in the long part of the
hallway nearest the door to Paradise Plaza and fire into the larger room. He'll
come around the corner and run right into a stream of fire, and should go down
without you taking damage.

Once he's dead, drop 3 items on the top of the shelf with the 3 barrels and
gather his food there.
Eat his Pie at about 2AM, then his Creamer, and now it's about 6AM. Head for Jo in
Wonderland Plaza.
She's in the same store she was in for the Above The Law Scoop.

Before you face her, drop 3 items on the top of the bookshelf nearest the clock
in Sir Book-A-Lot, then take her down.
Once she's dead, take her food back to Sir Book-A-Lot and camp on the shelf.

Eat the Lettuce, the Melon, the Zombait, and then eat a Steak at about 4:30PM , and then take the back passage by the Lens Zen
for Larry in North Plaza.
Once he's dead, drop 4 items on the scaffolding across from the empty store or the
Survival Book room and collect his food and Cleaver. Camp here and eat his Orange (6:30) and Yogurt (8:30).

Go get a new MegaBuster and trade the Survival Book for the RLS and come back to North Plaza for Cletus.

Just like before, use the RLS to clear a path to Huntin' Shack, and then kill Cletus, then take his food
and the Shotguns and blast your way back to the Survival Book room.

Eat the Grapefruit, the Wine, and Steak and it should be about 6:30AM on Day 7.




Day 7


Head for Wonderland Plaza, then take the restroom shortcut to Paradise Plaza.

You can either wait for Adam in the back of the restroom or go out and face him man-to-psychotic-clown-with-chainsaws.
I recommend waiting for him.

Once he's down, head for the blue ledge over Kids' Choice Clothing and drop 5 items, then collect
his food and the 2 Small Chainsaws.

Eat his Japanese Radish, then the Pizza, then a Steak, then head for
Sophie in the Security Room through the Warehouse/Rooftop.

Kill Sophie and drink her Coffee Creamer at about 6PM, but no later than 6:20PM.

Head to the Rooftop->Warehouse->Paradise Plaza->Park->North Plaza->Crislip's for Cliff.

Eat his Red Cabbage and Baguette, then drop H1 and H2. Take his Machine Gun and go to North Plaza.

Use the MachineGun to clear out some zombies and wait for Isabela near the Survival Book Room.

Blast her with the MB and take her Energizer, then take the motorcycle to Wonderland for Paul.

When you get to Wonderland, take the lower staircase down to the floor level, then climb on top
of the Beautification kiosk to get Paul.

Once he's dead and his cars are all blown up, drop 2 food items in the restroom
and collect Paul's Steak(P2) and OJ.

Head for Sir Book-A-Lot and get on the bookshelf nearest the
clock behind the cash register.

Get yourself a stopwatch, or a timer set for 3 minutes 46 seconds, because this part requires timing.

Watch the clock and wait for 10PM. Start the stopwatch/timer as soon as you see the lights go out.
This clock is rather fuzzy, and the hands are off-center, so when it says 10, it's not. The lights
go out at 10, and the clock will look like it says 10:02-10:05, so don't trust it. The only time it's accurate
is at :15 and :45.

So, at Lights Out, you start your timer/stopwatch. Head for the restroom and use the motorcycle to block the door
to keep the zombies out.

At 3 minutes 36 seconds after Lights Out, drop your MB and pick up one of the food items you dropped in the
restroom, then at 3:46 drink the Untouchable, and pick up your other food item. You should now have 11 food items
and the Survival book.

Head into the Paradise Plaza shortcut and run for the Warehouse.
While Untouchable, zombies cannot grab you. They can slap you, but that's not a problem.

So head into the Warehouse. There are two options you can choose here: climb the racks to the Rooftop, or take the Elevator.

If you take the Elevator, use the Football Tackle to knock the zombies out of your way so you can get to the controls.

The Elevator is the more risky option, as you can be slapped, or you might get hung up in an infinite loop of trading
something in your inventory for a Hunk Of Meat a zombie dropped near the Elevator controls.
However, if you get it, you will get to the Rooftop with the Untouchable effect still active, which helps.

While climbing the racks is safer, the Untouchable will have worn off by the time you reach the door. That means you have to
get to the vent without being eaten alive, and without killing Zombie Jessie on the ledge.

So pick your path.

Once you're on the rooftop, hit the ledge and avoid Jessie, then enter the Security Room.

Grab the MB and carefully clear the Security Room of all zombies, including the ones in the 4 rooms,
the office, the stairway, and the outer hallway that leads to Entrance Plaza.
There cannot be ONE ZOMBIE left alive in the Security Room Map.

And you have to do this before the 3rd life block expires.

Get whatever you dropped for the MB and stand near the vent but don't go out yet.

This next part goes very fast, so read it first, then do it. You cannot Pause during any of this.

Set your timer for 1 minute (60 seconds) or use a stopwatch, and just before the 4th Life Block starts, go out the vent.

Watch your Life Meter, and as soon as the 4th Block starts blinking, start the timer.

Drop one item where you are and lure Zombie Jessie to you.

DO NOT kill her by the ledge. You need her Apple. If it flies out into the crowd, you are so screwed it isn't even funny.

So get her attention and have her follow you to the vent. Wall Kick her or Knee Drop her, then take her Apple.

Go back to the vent and face it, then drop one item while facing the vent (but not the Apple).

Pick up whatever you dropped before and set the Apple as your Equipped Item, facing the vent, standing
directly over the item you put down.

At the 1 minute mark, eat the Apple, then spam the (B) button to pick up your item and activate the vent as quickly as possible.

When the S.R. loads, haul ass for the Helipad.

There will be one zombie that has respawned, and he'll be in the second part of the Security Room, near the stairwell.
He might be right in front of the door waiting to grab you as soon as you open it, or he might be closer to the stairs. It's
random, but there's always one there.

DO NOT stop to attack the zombie, do not pull a Wall Kick, but run around him to get to the stairs and the Helipad.

If you did all that correctly, you'll see Brock's nametag on the Helipad. If you don't see it, you missed him, and it's Game Over.

If he's there, climb the barrels and get on the roof of the Security Room stairwell
(where you just came from) and wait until Day 8. Drop everything on the roof. Everything.



Day 8




At about 3:56AM, you're going to have to eat, so grab the Survival book and
drink a Spitfire, then drop the book.

Hop down (check the area first, there are zombies here), and get up on the
Helipad away from where Brock is.

Approach him slowly and don't get too close.

Hold the Left Trigger and Spit on him.

He'll block, but it still hurts him. Keep spitting until he's
down, then go back to your stuff on the roof of the shed.

MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT OPEN HIS BOX!

We'll assume you didn't open the box.

Since the only book you have is the Survival Book, the only thing you can eat
are Steaks and Effect Juices (Energizer, etc), which only need the one book (100%) to refill 12 blocks of Life.


It's crucial that you have either perfect vision or a stopwatch here, because you have to eat as late as possible.

Start the stopwatch as soon as the last Life Block starts blinking. Each block lasts 1 minute 40 seconds real time,
but you have to press the button to eat at 1:37:xx seconds to refill just before 1:40:00, or you'll starve to death.

Now, the exact millisecond you press the (X) button to eat depends on how quickly you started the stopwatch
in relation to the start of the last block.

It's complicated and long-winded, but here goes:

Reaction time is critical to do this correctly. You have to focus on the Life Meter under your Life Blocks when the
second to last Life Block is still blinking and almost empty. There's a slight glow effect to the Life Meter, so the
last little sliver of the Meter is easy to miss.

I cannot tell you to eat precisely at 1:37:80, because the chances anyone will ever get the timing perfect are in the
high-millions to 1.

So, judge for yourself how quickly you reacted to the last Life Block starting to blink, and eat accordingly.

Eat 3 more items every 4 hours, then drop the Survival Book, open Brock's box, take his food and Machine Gun,
go downstairs, trade the Machine Gun for the MegaBuster, and go to Paradise Plaza via the
Rooftop/Warehouse.

Kill Aaron in Paradise Plaza and trade the MegaBuster for his Apple, then
cook Brock's food in Jill's Sandwiches.

Go to the Survival Book room in North Plaza and eat Aaron's apple when you are
4 blocks down.

Take the Survival Book and head out to the Park, going to the Parking Area for the Red Car.
Head into the Maintenance Tunnel and go to the Key Room for Kathy. Park the car so there's nothing between you and the
door. Make sure you close the door behind you when you go in.

She's got a gun, so be careful. Wait for her to turn her back to you then
pick up a Sledgehammer and beat her to death.

She's got an Uncooked Pizza, so get away from her as soon as she's dead (10 hits with the Sledge).
Camp in the corner and eat the other Untouchable, then open her box, take her Uncooked Pizza, get back in the car,
and head for Food Court.

Throw her Pizza in the oven at Chris' Fine Foods and get the SMG off the Chef Head to kill Jeff.

Eat his Melted Ice Pops when you are 2 blocks down, as that's all they'll refill with the Survival Book.
Theoretically, it should be 9:58PM when your 2nd block empties and the 3rd block starts blinking. You can check this
with a stopwatch. As soon as the 3rd block starts blinking, start the stopwatch. As soon as you see the lights
go out, stop the stopwatch. If that was 10 seconds, then that's 2 minutes, which means it was 9:58PM when
you had to eat Jeff's Ice Pops. If you drank an Energizer on the Helipad, then the lights should have gone out
as soon as your 3rd block started blinking, as that was 10:00PM. If you drank both Energizers on the Helipad, then
the lights should have gone out 10 seconds before you ate the Ice Pops, which means you ate them at 10:02PM.

That's very important to understand, as it directly relates to getting 17 Days 7 Hours and 7 Minutes.

Your last target is Brad in the Meat Processing Area. You'll have to hide on top of the freezer
at the back of the room to avoid him. He will probably clear the room with his Katana, and take
considerable damage in the process.

Use the Knives in the Butcher Shop to kill him, or if you can wait until you need to eat again,
use the Spitfire2 on him.

Once he's dead, DO NOT open his box. He's carrying frozen IcePops which will melt in 1 hour if
you open his box, so leave them in the box for now.

Eat 3 more items (4 total) so you can carry his SMG, IcePops, and the 2 Milk that are here.
Once you have 2 empty slots, take the Milks if you can get them without opening Brad's box.
After you eat the 4th item, wait until you are 4 blocks down, then open his box, take his IcePops and SMG
then head out for the Truck.

You have 5 seconds of Untouchability whenever you change areas, so run to the truck (but try not to
pick a fight, and you may get slapped on the way, so avoid the crowd).
Drive hard to the Parking Area exit, use the truck to clear the door at Food Court, then head for Wonderland for H1.
Use the SMG to clear your path, but don't hang around, you're on a short timer.

Get H1 (trade SMG for it), then hit the restroom shortcut to Paradise Plaza (Flip Kick onto the rail of the catwalk, then hop to the roof of Beautification), and run to Entrance Plaza.
Go down to The Sinister Read for H2 and eat the IcePops when you are 6 blocks down, which will probably be right when you get H2.

If it refills 6 blocks, you made it in time. If it only refills 3, you didn't.

Now just gather Mall Food.


If you did all that correctly, pause the game and go pee. You probably have to by now. If not, then go eat, because your nerves are a complete wreck and you need food to cope. Avoid caffiene for now, as you're probably pretty wired already from the Book Run you just pulled off.


Ok, here's where you figure out how much time you'll end up with.

You drank the Untouchable on Day 7 in Wonderland at 10:45:12 PM (3 minutes 46 seconds after Lights Out), but it takes 2 real seconds from the time you press the button to the time the Refill begins, which is 24 game seconds. So, you refilled at 10:45:36 PM.

You then cleared out the Security Room and got Jessie, and ate her Apple 1 minute into the 4th Life Block. 3 Life Blocks is one game Hour, and 1 real minute is 12 game minutes.
So that means you ate her Apple at 11:57:36 PM (1 Hour 12 Minutes after refilling from the Untouchable). However, because it takes 2 real seconds (24 game seconds) to actually start refilling, you refilled at 11:58:00 PM.

Now, because your Life Meter cannot be completely empty without dying, you had to time your eating on the Helipad so that you refilled at the last possible second. You used the stopwatch to eat at 1:37:xx into the last Life Block, so that means you drank the Spitfire on the Helipad to kill Brock at 3:57:xx AM, and refilled at 3:57:xx AM.
If you drank an Energizer on the Helipad, you refilled at 7:57:xx AM, BUT, since the Energizer stops your life from depleting for 2 game minutes, your Life Meter started ticking down again at 7:59:xx AM.
If you drank both Energizers on the Helipad, then your life started ticking down at 12:01:xx PM.
The last item you ate on the Helipad refilled at 4:01:xx PM
Assuming you drank both Energizers on the Helipad, you refilled with Aaron's Orange at 5:21:xx PM (5 blocks down, or 1 Hour 20 Minutes from your last refill).

When you ate a Steak at Kathy, you refilled at 9:21:xx PM.

When you ate Jeff's Ice Pops, it should have been 10:01:xx PM (at least 5 seconds after Lights Out, but less than 10 seconds).

When you at Brad's Ice Pops after getting the other 2 books, you refilled at 4:01:xx PM.

So that's 4:01:xx PM on Day 9, which means you survived for 8 Days 16 Hours and 1 Minute.

The game doesn't display Seconds, but it does keep track of them to separate scores on the Leaderboard.


And of course you'll remember that the game only counts Completed Time, so even though it's Day 9, you've only survived 8 Days.


So, you've got 8 Days 16 Hours and 1 Minute. You're carrying 9 4-hour food items (the 2 Milk from the Butcher Shop and the 7 4-hour items you had left in your inventory after eating there) and the 3 Health books.

The food in your Inventory totals 1 Days 12 Hours, and there are now 6 Days 23 Hours of Mall Food left (originally there was 7 Days 7 Hours of Mall Food, including the 2 Milks you picked up, so now there's 6D 23H you haven't picked up.)

So 8 Days 16 Hours 1 Minute + 1 Day 12 Hours = 10 Days 4 Hours 1 Minute.
10 Days 4 Hours 1 Minute + 6 Days 23 Hours = 17 Days 3 Hours 1 Minute.
17 Days 3 Hours 1 Minute + the 4 Hours of Life you have after refilling with Brad's Ice Pops gives you 17 Days 7 Hours 1 Minute.

Given that the Randomizer has a chance to give any of the other 6 Juice Effects, and given that you have both Randomizers, you have a chance to get the Energizer effect from both. That's 2 more game minutes each, for a total of 4 minutes.

17 Days 7 Hours 1 Minute + 4 Minutes = 17 Days 7 Hours 5 Minutes.


If you stand on the narrow part of the blue ledge in Paradise Plaza that is over the Camera Store near the clock, there's a hole on the right side just before the ledge gets wider.
After you've eaten the last food item, stand facing the wall there and use the Aim function (Right Trigger) to turn around, and position Frank so his right foot is aligned with the center of the round vent in the wall.

When Frank falls over from starvation, he'll fall back onto the ledge, then just before he dies, he'll fall to the ground and begin the Death Animation all over again. This will extend your time by 1 minute, so you'll come away with a final time of 17 Days 7 Hours 6 Minutes and xx Seconds.
