What is Patient 0?
Patient 0 is a fully immersive live action real life, multiplayer, first person shooter, role-playing game. If you ever wanted to get off the couch and play your favourite first person shooter video game for real, this is the event for you. Patient 0 is the first game event by IRL Shooter and it will blow your mind.
From the moment you purchase your ticket, you will be taken on a journey into a completely realised universe of our design, culminating in you and 5 of your friends having to fight your way through a zombie infested building, solving puzzles, collecting information and trying to stay alive.


Unlike other live action zombie shooter games, we are creating a brand new weapons system that will keep an accurate score of your game-play; how many kills, headshots, body shots, misses, friendly fire etc. So not only do you have to survive and complete the missions, but your game will be ranked and your score matters. Imagine the most realistic first person shooter video game, in real life.




How long is it running?
Patient 0 starts on Halloween, the 31st of October 2012 and runs for a month. We intend to tour the event around Australia, so if you can’t be in Melbourne, let us know on the registration page and we might just bring it to you!
This first instalment in the I.R.L Shooter universe is only going to play out once, then we change the story. It’s going to be up to the players to put all the pieces together, find all the hidden information and try to work out who is behind it all!

What do the guns look like?
We are working with an armourer based in Melbourne that will allow us to make replica M4 machine guns, that to look at you would never be able to tell them apart from the real thing..*FYI: We are jumping through hoops to get the right licencing and permissions from various state and federal authorities to be able to use guns that look so very real, as owning and using imitation machine guns is illegal*
As we are not allowed to shoot actors with live ammunition (who knew?) we are using ‘laser-tag’ technology that uses infra-red light (the same as your TV remote control). The lens will be housed in the grenade launcher (along with most of the electronics) under the barrel.
One drawback of standard laser tag weapons against live ammunition weapons is that there is no recoil (kick). Until now. We are including a solenoid mechanism that will produce ‘kick’ in the weapon when fired. Combine this with the built in speaker that provides the gun fire sound and the muzzle mount LED (to produce muzzle flash), these are going to be the most accurate imitations available.Currently we can achieve about 70m range and the shot will have a 15cm diameter. We are refining the technology to increase range and reduce diameter. Its up to you to shoot straight.



What if I don't get a Pozible ticket?
If you don't get a chance to get a second release ticket in time DON'T WORRY! go over to our website and register your email. That way we can let you know when tickets are opening up to the public.
Or if you want to keep up with all the Zombie and IRL news check out our facebook
Remember, this is a limited run event so when we close the doors Melbourne, you're not going to see Patient 0 again. Therefore, if you want to play, be quick as you're not going to want to miss this event.

Who can play the game?
As Patient 0 is a physical game, you will need to be in relatively good health because you’re going to be running away like scared babies from the horde of zombies!
Because this game is full of horror content and probably quite a of bit swearing, we are going to impose a 16 years and over rule. Sorry but there are no exceptions.
