In this game, 20 people from dysfunctional families are trying their best to get along, but their vacation plans soon turned to survival instincts after a plane crash. Fair warning: It will be hard for everyone to survive until the end and it’s very likely some might not…
Emoji Key
Emojis will be used to represent characters’ status. You do not have to use the emojis next to the names when creating your families but they do serve purpose in monthly events.

Hearts will be used in events where someone of a certain skill can be used for the event.
