Every day you wake up early to get to school on time at Bartlett Academy. Fortunately, your English class keeps you on your toes. You just finished “The Most Dangerous Game” which was also published as "The Hounds of Zaroff", a short story by Richard Connell in Collier’s magazine.
By the time you get home from school, you are exhausted. Your pesky little brother is camped out in front of the TV watching Pirates of the Caribbean. As you hit the couch, the opening music of the movie begins to play. Soon you are dozing and images begin to morph inside your brain. In the distance, your mind sees Ship-Trap Island. Instead of a 2-hour movie, it is now a 40-minute adventure.
Hold on a second . . . YOU have become Rainsford. Along the coastline, you see a wooden crate with several locks that must have landed on the island from previous shipwrecks. You intuitively know that you must open the locks to get to supplies that will aid in your survival. You will need your knowledge of the "Most Dangerous Game" and all your wits to succeed.
After all, “Life is for the Strong”. Can you do it?
