In this game, you are a survivor stranded in a dense jungle. The jungle is filled with trees, mountains, caves, and wildlife. You must gather resources like wood, stone, food, and water to survive. There are hidden caves and secret hideouts where you can find tools, shelter, and extra resources. As you explore, you’ll encounter animals and face challenges like weather or predators. You need to manage your resources, build shelter, and stay alive.

Educational Implementation Ideas:
Ecosystem Balance:
- Through the collection of resources, students can learn about the delicate balance in an ecosystem. For example, overhunting or overgathering water can cause the environment to degrade, affecting the availability of resources.
- Activity: Students can monitor how their actions impact the environment. For example, if they collect too much food, they might cause a food shortage for themselves later.
Crafting and Building:
- Introduce basic principles of engineering and construction by allowing students to build shelters using materials they collect.
- Activity: Students can experiment with different ways of building shelters. What designs would be most effective in the jungle environment?
Animal Behavior:
- Students can learn about the behavior of animals in different environments (predators, prey, etc.) by encountering them in the game.
- Activity: Have students research the animals in their habitat (e.g., jungle predators) and discuss how these creatures adapt to their environment.
Resource Conservation:
- Teach students the importance of resource conservation. If students gather too much of one resource, it could deplete the jungle's supply. They must learn to balance their needs.
- Activity: Have students track their resource usage and make predictions about how long they can survive based on their consumption.
