Anyone else with conflicting directions and game pieces? And about the swiftly deflating ball, apparently, even duct tape has limits. I think my world has just been blown apart... Good luck on finding a replacement!

No, the reference in the manual is actually to the zipper itself. The ends of the zipper are not locked together so it is possible that you could remove the zipper-assembly-handle-thingy, which would be very bad...

The CORRECT way to lock the zipper's ends are with little metal clamps that usually come with zippers, if you don't got any of those, just sew the ends together.
