A sequel to this and that and these and those and here and there and a bit of a CAF-like game but it’s more than just one family and there’s multiple aspects of many CAF games. In this game, 20 people who are very very used to life…that isn’t on this island are forced to survive after their yachts crash into jagged rocks, causing holes and sinking the yachts, leaving them stranded on the nearby island. People who the general public would not consider capable survivors will now have to be capable survivors. Fair warning: It will be hard for everyone to survive until the end and it’s very likely some might not…

The first survivor family (4) consists of a mother [30] , father [30] , and their two kids. The older son [7] loves food and knows food, but can’t imagine going on with so little due to being so used to having food. The younger son [6] is the fastest runner in his class and is loved by his teachers for always participating in their classes. He’s popular in his class but is shy around strangers on the island. The parents are born very kind-hearted but somewhat traditional and can’t imagine being on an island with strangers and live inland, hardly ever going to the beach. But it all changes here because they’re going from inland to island. Question: Why did they take the yacht trip?
-
A: For family bonding. Children are named after their parents or have names derived from parents’ names. Parents’ names are free choice.
-
B: For a vacation they usually wouldn’t take. Names of this family will all start with a vowel in either the first or middle name.
-
C: Because the kids have wanted to do it for so long. Names of this family will be lesser-common unisex names.
The second survivor family (4) consists of a former movie actor-turned-movie producer [62] , his wife the director [62] , and their two daughters, both movie actresses. This family knows they’re not fit for the island being a famous family, but they want to do their part and prove they’re not conceited divas. The producer father has used his productions to help lead and the mother has used her directions to quickly get everything in place. The older daughter [29] has played mostly strong female roles in movies and is trying to use as much of that strength in real life. The younger daughter [27] plays an evil scientist in a movie series but is actually very nice in real life and wants to use her science skills for good. Question: How is the teamwork between the family?

The third survivor family (3) consists of a single mother [28] , her son [7] , and her daughter [6] . Unlike the above family, this family is poor so they are used to not having much, but they lack in most of the health and willpower that other survivors have. The mother always does her best to provide food for her children and will satisfy their needs before her own. The son and daughter have picked up on this and the son is doing his best with his knowledge in is learning in school about health to help the family. The daughter is the biggest motivator and always inspires the family to love themselves and motivates he other families as well. Question: What is the thing most similar between their daily life and island survival?
A: Not having much food. Everyone in the family has short middle names and long first names, but all of them go by nicknames derived by their first names.
B: Not having a nice living arrangement. Names of this family are names of good deceased famous people.
C: Fear that things could be worse for their situation. Names of this family are from musicals or plays.
The fourth survivor family (3) consists of a grandma [74] , grandpa [74] , and grandson [26] . The grandparents are excellent leaders but are old and not very strong or fit so they hope their leadership helps the younger survivors. The grandson doesn’t get along with his mother due to her not supporting his rugby career as “a real job” but loves his maternal grandparents he’s on the island with, despite them nagging him sometimes about when he’s “having kids and giving them great-grandchildren” despite their grandson being single. Question: What will be the biggest toll for the grandparents?

A: Bad climate. Names of this family are short and foreign.

B: Injuries. Names of this family are names that typically don’t have nicknames.
-
C: Lack of food. Names of this family are all main characters in fiction.
The fifth survivor family (4) is a family that isn’t famous, but are rich. They’ve never been camping and their idea of “roughing it” is not getting a top floor at a hotel. However the mother [44] isn’t the type to be born rich, she got there by starting a great medicine company and hates it when people tell her she overprices her medication when it is usually the government who does this. The father [44] is in advertising for his wife’s company and is in no rush to be a billionaire and won’t let the richness get in the way of his side-gig in Kung Fu. Their daughter [24] is a leader of her own in teaching others how to code and never uses her parents to advance her own career. Their son [22] is also into coding and knows nothing about island survival but has learned a lot about food foraging from video games about apocalypse survival. Still, while the family packed the most, they are prepared the least, and need this to unwind from their luxury and know what it’s like to not be on top. Question: How will this family react over their new temporary “home” on the island?
-
A: They spend the first few days freaking out and feeling culture shock. Names of this family will be names of rich or famous people.
-
B: They don’t let their emotions show but they are perplexed by how little their skills will help them here and how much they’ll have to do to maintain survival. Names of this family are related to money, precious luxuries, and/or jewels.
-
C: They are extremely homesick. First and middle names of this family will start with the same vowel.
The sixth and final survivor family (2) consists of a married couple who don’t get much outdoor time due to working in an office and constantly being indoors. The wife [34] loves her job and is always happy to see her co-workers, treating them all like friends. The husband [34] secretly doesn’t like his job and feels he is more suited to be a security guard for either the famous or the rich family because he has skills better suited for that job and feels the office isn’t for him. However both believe the island isn’t for them either and will have to make it work for them. Question: What do they worry about most in the outdoors?
-
A: Possibility of animal attacks. Names of this family will be names of pets you know.
-

-
