Lord of the Flies Island Crash Simulation: Will YOU survive?
Scenario You have just awoken on the shore of an island. You are all alone; the only sound you hear is the distant wind, a bird calling from afar, and the crashing of waves around you. Your head is pounding, your mouth is dry, you have a pain in your leg and a gash at your side. The hot sun is beating down upon you and the horizon reveals nothing but endless ocean. Will you survive? ? ? Choose what your survival instincts tell you for each question and find out!

Keep tinder and wood ready to light at any given moment to get the attention of planes flying over head.
