Your Life RaftYour Life Raft

Your sailboat has capsized and you are now adrift in the ocean on a small life raft.

There are 15 items floating in the water near you. Answer the questions correctly to retrieve each of the items. Each time you successfully retrieve an item you will improve your chances of survival as shown on the Survival Meter on the buoy. If you answer the question incorrectly the item will sink and all chances of retrieving it will be gone

You chances of surviving your ordeal will be dependent upon the total percentage shown on the Survival Meter on the buoy when all 15 items have passed by your raft.

Now prepare yourself and begin by clicking on Start Game in your life raft.
