All the members of our sales team were happy with the theme: Survival Marooned in Jamaica's Cockpit Country. You certainly helped build a better team spirit within our division."

What Happened |
It was supposed to be a relaxing vacation in Jamaica. But, you couldn’t resist going for it - the adventure of a lifetime, an overnight trek on horseback in Jamaica's Cockpit Country, terrain so rugged that incredible wild flora and fauna grow unchecked.
A Breathtaking View of Jamaica's Cockpit Country
A quick, wild gallop - and you're separated from your guides and the rest of your party.
You're not too worried. Your Maroon guides told you that, if you got lost, they’d send a search party to find you. They advised you to listen for the beat of the drum and follow it to discover where to meet your rescuers.
You have enough food to last a week. You're stranded in small teams, struggling to get back to civilization. You've lost your money, your identification, your passports and your airline tickets. All you have is your horses, your tack, the clothing on your back and the one “luxury” item you managed to sneak into your gear. To get home, you have to raise the money for your airfare and to replace the supplies you've lost. The only way to survive is to take stock of your situation, make your plans and take action! You construct some makeshift stables and shelters and get a good night’s sleep before you consider your options.

The
Rules of Survivor
|
The
goal of the game is to survive. The game begins when 2 teams
of strangers are left in a rough terrain. There is no opportunity
for planning before the game begins. Both teams scramble to
gather whatever supplies they can grab. They trek across rugged
terrain in search of their campsite. Exhausted, hungry and
in the middle of no where, they work together to construct
some make shift dwellings, get a fire going (without matches)
and figure out what they're going to eat.

The inevitable jockeying for position and politicking
begins almost immediately. The teams compete in a series of
survival challenges. The winning team gets a valuable prize
and the immunity idol. The loser must vote for one of their
members to leave the island. This continues for about 40 days.
At the end of the game, the last survivor wins $1,000,000.
