What is the En-Nah’ Assistant Program?
The En-Nah’ Assistant Program is an exclusive, limited-time event introduced in the Zenless Zone Zero 1.3 update.

How to Start the En-Nah’ Assistant Program

The En-Nah’ Assistant Program is a time-gated event, with new tasks unlocking each day, encouraging players to return regularly to progress and earn rewards.

Key Event Tasks in the En-Nah’ Assistant Program
The event involves several unique gameplay elements, providing a mix of storytelling and interactive minigames. Here’s a breakdown of the core activities:
1. Story Commissions
Story Commissions are narrative-driven missions that give players a chance to interact with various Bangboo characters and learn more about their world. These commissions could include tasks like checking up on alumni or supervising Bangboo training sessions.
2. Commemorative Photos
In the Commemorative Photos minigame, players must visit specific Bangboos and take group photos. To successfully complete this task, you’ll need to ensure that each photo meets certain requirements, which will be displayed on your screen. This may involve positioning characters in a specific way or capturing specific moments.
3. Training Supervision
Training Supervision is a time-based minigame where players watch videos of Bangboo training and answer questions within a set time limit. Answering questions correctly allows you to advance, while incorrect answers will prompt a restart. Only after completing the Commemorative Photo mission for a particular Bangboo can you unlock the corresponding Training Supervision activity.
4. Bangboo Counting
In this activity, players are tasked with counting the indicated Bangboo in a given scenario, avoiding distractions from other Bangboos or surrounding activities. This challenge tests your attention to detail and focus, as distractions can make counting tricky.
