Sample Story
Your team of eco racers has
survived eight grueling days in the Australian Outback. You have
moved across terrain that is home to some of the most dangerous
animals and insects on the planet. Your bodies are beaten and
tired, but you press on for the glory of the finish.
On your final day across the harsh landscape, you encounter the
web of a giant spider, until now only known in myth and legend.
You've heard the stories, but you didn't believe them.
Turning around and running would do no good, as the spider has
already sensed your approach. You know there is only one way to go,
right through the giant trap.
Your team must pass or step through the heart of the spider
web without disturbing it in any way.
The spider's keen sense of touch will know if it has been moved.
You know from legend that the holes in the web secrete a substance
that closes them to further traffic after something has gone
through, however,
you can trick the spider by putting two people through at a
time, as long as they stay connected in some way.
You want to stay as far
from the spider as possible, so going over the web is not an
option. You may go under it as if it was a hole.
If you are unlucky enough to touch the web, all is not
lost.
If you were moving through the hole you must be safely brought
back, surrounded, and revived from the poisonous grips by teammates
jumping around you shouting
"You're OK!"
You may use this antidote three times before all is truly
lost.
Be very clear about safety and insist that they take this seriously. Spotting and proper lifting is key to a safe environment. Make sure your group can handle this level of challenge.
