Choose Your Own Apocalypse

CYOA Cover

The end of the world is upon us. Three factions are each capable of wiping out or enslaving the human race. There is no future for mankind. All that remains is to decide WHICH doom will become our ultimate fate. You decide!

Premiering at Salt Lake Comic Con in September of 2013, Choose Your Own Apocalypse is a panel sized audience participation game. James Wymore moderates the game, with panelists serving as players. Although the game can be played using many different themes, the first and most common theme is Robots vs. Aliens vs. Zombies.cyoa

Three panelists are the players, each representing one of the factions competing to take over the earth. Over a series of three rounds, they each tell impromptu stories and answer the questions or attacks of the audience. As the game progresses, the audience takes over. One faction at a time is eliminated until the ultimate rulers are determined and everybody is absorbed.cyoa2
