Fiasco - The Zoo

The Brookmarket Zoo was once a world-class institution, visited by locals and travelers alike. Its animals were content, its visitors happy, its staff respected. Now, attendance is down, the zoo is desperate, and money is tight. Other, more successful zoos in other cities sniff around the place, looking to take away animals and staff. Are these the last days of the Brookmarket Zoo? Or can someone with powerful ambition change things for the better?

It's our first foray into Fiasco and we're starting off with The Zoo playset. If you want to skip the set-up, fast forward to 33:42.

It's Conner Mercer's birthday party and everyone is headed to Foxy's Roller Rink. Some of the kids even brought their "special friends" along. Good thing they did, because after the Chicken Dance they get sent to another world. Can they escape and make it back to the party before the cake is served?
