Description

Imagine a room full of friends, a few sheets of paper, a pen, and a secret mission that only the most sneaky of spies could pull off—welcome to Opération Zèbre. Designed by Lenny Landau in 2025, this party‑ready game cranks the classic spy vibe up to eleven, letting anywhere from two to twelve players dive into a wild mix of deduction, trivia and good‑old teamwork. The rules are so breezy you can get the game rolling in a minute, and the whole thing wraps up in a satisfying 30‑45 minutes, making it perfect for a quick laugh or a longer, tension‑filled showdown. The fun kicks off when your team is split into “agents” and “handlers,” but here’s the twist: you can’t just blurt out what you see. Communication limits force you to hand over tiny, targeted clues—think “the zebra is hiding near the line you just drew” or “the answer starts with a vowel.” Then everyone grabs a pen and starts sketching lines, crossing out possibilities, and betting on whether they can nail the answer before the clock runs out. It’s a clever blend of paper‑and‑pencil line drawing, push‑your‑luck tension, and brain‑teasing trivia that keeps everyone on their toes. What makes Opération Zèbre truly addictive is that it feels like you’re starring in a covert operation every round. The more you guess, the tighter the clues get, and the more you’ll be shouting “Got it!” when the team finally cracks the code. Whether you’re a trivia junkie, a deduction fan, or just love a good party game that gets everyone laughing and scheming, Opération Zèbre delivers a fast‑paced, cooperative thrill that’s as easy to learn as it is hard to put down. Grab a pen, gather the crew, and see if you can out‑smart the zebra’s secret hide‑out!
