48hr Game Making Challenge

48 hours … 3 words …. 20 teams …. and one kitchen …

For those of you hoping to relive the magic ..

Day 36, and still no sign of rescue. Rations are scarce. Beginning to consider convenient ‘accidents’ for fellow crew members. May be risky, though – only thing available is Chicken Crimpy avalanche. If only we had some food, it might not have come to this. But poor planning, and the Tim Tam Andes, have left us vulnerable. I won’t wait. The Crimpies come down tonight.

32 hours to go and teams are wandering around looking for showers and coffee – a quick stroll thru the two reveals many instant sleeping sites …
