    Thanks in advance.

    Have you contacted the administrator? Perhaps s/he does not want you to play the game.

    Have you ever run the app successfully? Could you play the game previously? When was it blocked?

    Have you tried running it as an administrator? Right-click on it and select "Run as administrator".

    Look at the .exe of the game itself, the actual executable file with the .exe extension. Right click the file and choose properties. Look to see if you have an option at the bottom to "unblock" the file. If so, check the Unblock, Apply, Ok, close. Try your game again. Following pic is only an example:
