It starts as a normal day at Sheldon. The morning announcements finish, but then the sky outside shifts to a strange green glow. The air hums. Phones buzz with emergency alerts. You step outside and see enormous black triangular ships hovering silently above the city. This is where your alien invasion survival plan begins.
It Begins at Sheldon
Moments later, a deep rumble shakes the ground. Blue beams of light shoot down from the ships, cutting power lines and plunging the school into darkness. The air smells like metal, and the sound of sirens fills the distance. Teachers try to stay calm, but panic spreads fast.
Meanwhile, students argue over what’s happening—some say the aliens are attacking power stations, while others claim they saw one of the ships land behind the park. Either way, the invasion has begun, and you have 30 minutes to act before the ships start scanning the area.
Think Like a Survivor
Quick thinking is your most powerful tool. The gym could be a shelter—it has thick walls and few windows. The science lab might hold emergency supplies like batteries, flashlights, and first aid kits. The cafeteria has food and water, though it’s open and risky. On the other hand, maybe your best move is to escape fast and head for higher ground beyond the city.
Whatever you decide, you’ll need to stay calm, use logic, and think like a strategist, not a victim.
