The wilderness is a place of beauty and peace. But it is also filled with fierce predators, poisonous plants, and raging rivers. Will you: try to survive the harsh mountains of Alaska after being abandoned during an outdoor training trip? Struggle to make your way out of the deep forests after becoming lost in Australia’s Blue Mountains? Attempt to find help for your injured brother in Washington’s Cascade Mountains? YOU CHOOSE what you'll do next. The choices you make will either lead you to safety or to doom.

The burning sun beats down on your skin. Endless hills of sand surround you. You are trying to survive in one of the most dangerous areas in the world – the desert. Will you: struggle to find help in Africa’s Sahara Desert after an aeroplane crash? Attempt to get out of the Sonoran Desert in Mexico after a disastrous hike? Fight for life in Asia’s Gobi Desert after your dirt bike breaks down? YOU CHOOSE what you’ll do next. The choices you make will either lead you to safety – or to doom.

You're lost amid dangerous, unseen predators after your plane crashes in the Amazon jungle. By parachuting out of the plane, you landed safely, but you are all alone with little food and water. Do you: take off in search of rescue? Build a camp and try to signal rescuers? Head towards where you believe the downed plane and your pilot may have landed? YOU CHOOSE what you'll do next. The choices you make will either lead you to safety or to doom.

You are an experienced mountain climber. Your goal is to reach the top of the world’s highest and most dangerous mountains. Will you attempt to: scale Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro? Climb the Matterhorn in Europe? Reach the top of the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest? YOU CHOOSE what you’ll do next. The choices you make will either lead you to safety – or to doom.
