Born in Brussels, Belgium, the ‘ZAP Games’ is a framework for creating interventions against corporate advertising spaces in our streets. ‘ZAP’ is french for ‘Zone Anti-Publicité’ / Anti-Advertising Zone.

The rules are simple: over two weeks in the run up to Black Friday (29 November 2024) individuals gather in teams which act against the outdoor advertising industry – and their world. Using a gaming format, all action reports and photos are collated on this website and disseminated through social media.

Each team can register their actions under 8 Action Categories. In 2023 about 34 actions were taken in 13 cities around the world, and award ceremonies were held in London and Brussels to celebrate the actions and reward the winners.

The winners of the action categories for the ZAP Games 2023 can be seen here.
