Protocolo Cero

The story

La Paz's Unit Zero is calling you in

Someone left a bomb in the Meridiano Tower. The clock is already running and the bomb appears on your screen, with its wires, its security grid and its fuses.

Unit Zero has nobody else nearby. They send you the MD-7 defusal manual, a case file with records, clippings and logs, and sealed envelopes you only open when the game tells you to. A radio is broadcasting in Morse code.

The manual doesn't say everything. The bomb doesn't show everything. To defuse it in time, you'll have to work out who put it there, and why.

Players: 2 to 6
Length: 90 minutes
Difficulty: Hard for real
Where: At home, in any city
Language: Spanish
Price: Bs. 100 per group

FAQ

What people usually ask

Is the game in English?

Not yet. Protocolo Cero is only available in Spanish: the screen, the manuals and the case files. At least one player should read Spanish comfortably. If you'd like an English version, tell us on WhatsApp: it helps us decide.

What do we need to play?

A computer. Connecting it to the TV is optional, but it is more fun on a big screen; if you do, use an HDMI cable (screen casting delays the sound). You also need a printer for the material, a pencil, scissors and 90 uninterrupted minutes.

How much is it?

Bs. 100 per group of 2 to 6 people. Order it on WhatsApp at +591 76228873.

Can we play outside La Paz?

Yes. The code and the material arrive by email, so you can play in any city.

Do we need phones?

No. You can play with just the computer and the mouse. If you like, each team can handle its part from a phone, sitting on the couch.

What if the bomb goes off?

It happens. You can buy another attempt at a reduced price, on WhatsApp or at our venue.

Does it work for companies?

Yes. Several teams can play Protocolo Cero at once and compare their times. Message us and we'll set it up.
