Survive the challenge. Outsmart the agent. Reach the final level.
Agent Zero: The Agent Survival Game is a level-based competitive AI Agent challenge that puts your reasoning, strategic thinking, problem-solving, and AI interaction skills to the test. Teams of 2–3 participants will enter a series of increasingly challenging levels where they must interact with AI agents and solve tasks involving memory, planning, decision-making, tool usage, reasoning, and multi-agent systems . Every decision matters. Mistakes can cost valuable time or result in penalties, while efficient strategies can help your team progress further. Your goal is to survive every level, adapt to increasingly complex challenges, and reach the final level before time runs out. What You’ll Do Teams will be required to: Interact with AI agents to solve the assigned challenges. Complete a series of progressively difficult levels.
