Description

You re on an afterlife cruise to the totally tropical island of Eternal Paradise - your final destination - if you catch our drift. On the way, your ship slams into a rock, not far from the sad sandy shores of Purgatory Island. You manage to escape the sinking vessel - only to be bludgeoned by a falling coconut. What are the chances?! Well it turns out, there are an average of 150 deaths by coconut per year. You regain consciousness to the realisation the shipwreck has turned your heavenly cruise to Eternal Paradise into a hellish race across Purgatory Island. From Coconut Beach, you ve gotta move by backing your betting ability in deciding which of the three options is most deadly. For example: Falling Coconuts, Lightning Strike or Extreme Selfies. You ll be betting by using the only currency to hand: coconuts (ironically). You ve got a one-in-three chance of getting the answer correct. Bet small and move cautiously. Bet big and move quickly - but risk going backwards just as fast. Navigate shortcuts and lava flows, and look out for buried treasure, it could be the difference between life and death. Whichever tactic you choose, only the first to the finish gets into Eternal Paradise. So, grab yourself a few fellow shipwrecked shipmates and get going on the race to Eternal Paradise, where your knowledge of death just might save your life.
