This is a comprehensive list of the numbers of the Year Zero alternate reality game by Nine Inch Nails and 42 Entertainment. The Year Zero alternate reality game, and its accompanying concept album of the same name, criticizes the United States government's policies as of 2007, projecting a dystopian vision of its impact on the state of events in 2022. The game has been underway since roughly February 12, 2007 and is expected to continue for approximately eighteen months.
Every medium released within the game has had a series of numbers hidden within it in the format of "24.x.y." The numbers appeared to be a form cataloging the media, much like the "Halo" system of all official Nine Inch Nails releases, partly confirmed by the fact that the Year Zero album was given the halo number of 24. Upon the discovery of Exhibit Twenty Four, it was revealed that the numbers were an in-game form of cataloging an ongoing government surveillance and criminal investigation of "resistance" groups, specifically a single unnamed "[CLASSIFIED] inmate." Below is a list of the numbers discovered and their source.
