Lost on Day One: A Survival Simulation
Lost on Day One is an immersive, interactive survival simulation designed to test decision-making under pressure. Participants are dropped into realistic scenarios and challenged to navigate critical moments — from finding shelter and managing risk to leadership and teamwork — all with the goal of making it out alive. The experience is fully adaptable, whether set in forest, winter, desert, urban environments, or even schools, making it as relevant for outdoor adventurers as it is for students and teams. It’s not about who’s the toughest — it’s about who thinks clearly when it matters most
​“The most important thing we can teach young people is how to think, not what to think.”
— Margaret Mead
Lost on Day One is built entirely around this idea.
Rather than telling participants what the “right” answer is, the survival simulation places them into realistic, high-pressure scenarios where every choice matters. They must assess risk, manage uncertainty, work as a team, and think several steps ahead — just as they would in real life. The lessons learned don’t stay in the wild; they transfer directly into the classroom and beyond. By learning how to think under pressure, young people build confidence, resilience, and decision-making skills that prepare them not just to survive a simulation, but to navigate challenges wherever they find themselves.
