Premise
[edit]Very well known YouTubers are thrown into an experiment by an organization known as CONOP, who have developed a biological weapon that reanimates the dead and transforms them into zombies. The experiment places them in an area where zombies known to be present. They must fight for their lives by completing different missions together to survive a 72-hour period in said area. Each episode chronicles the events that transpire in the 72 hours.[3] During their stay they meet up with several characters with unknown purposes and intent.
Missions
[edit]In each episode, CONOP instructs one or more subjects via a Communications Room or through a radio whilst out of base to complete missions which could potentially lead to those nominated facing zombies and risking death. The subjects either decide as a group or are nominated by CONOP to venture out of the safe house. A mission is deemed complete if the primary objective is fulfilled.
