Vote for the next サバイバル・ゲーム Adventure!
Howdy there and congratulations! You’ve made your way to the most experienced survival outfitter in WanikaniLand. We’ve taken folks through the Amazon, we’ve scaled great heights in the Andes, and we just returned from a dynamic voyage in the South Pacific! Like our motto says, the unexpected will happen - and with us - you will probably survive TM.
So have a look around, we have three more trips scheduled. The question is - which one is next! We’ll depart in about 6 weeks.
Vote below in this new-fangled ranked voting thing. Caution! It will look like the vote has completed, but please wait for the poll to close next week and a formal announcement before making travel arrangements. We wouldn’t want half of you getting lost in the Sahara on the way to the Savannah now would we?
Customer support
Welcome to the Survival Escape book club. We read choose your own adventure books together and vote weekly at each decision point. The series that we started has 6 books, and we have read 3 of them. The club has recently decided to commit to reading the remaining 3, which are:
- Escape from the scorching desert たったひとりのサバイバル・ゲーム! 灼熱の砂漠を脱出せよ | L21
- Escape the wide open savannah たったひとりのサバイバル・ゲーム! サバンナを脱出せよ | L21
- Escape the bottomless swamp たったひとりのサバイバル・ゲーム! 底なし沼を脱出せよ | L21
NOTE about availability: This is a paper-only series! Although Amazon currently has copies, the books are out of print and often sell out around club voting periods 
so often buying a used copy is the only option (e.g., with a service like Neokyo where you can buy used stuff from Mercari, but others please chime in with your favorite proxy seller). Currently all books are available on Amazon (but there is only 1 copy available for the desert book). So please keep in mind - copies may or may not be available on Amazon after the vote ends. However, there are always ample copies on used book sellers that will ship internationally. It’s all part of the adventure, but something to keep in mind 
customer service will be on standby when the results are announced.
Some people already own all the books. Some people will buy the remaining three now. Some people will buy the next book after this poll concludes. All of you - please vote below on the next adventure!
We don’t collect any personal information - if you would like updates regarding special offers and future clubs - set this thread to watching 
Vote here!
IMPORTANT note about voting : I’m using the newfangled Ranked Choice option on the polls. After you vote, it will appear like the poll is finished, but that is just the interim result. The poll will close in about a week on Wednesday 20 August 2025, unless there is a riot to extend it, in which case we’ll include the next weekend.
We are planning to read all 3 books listed, this poll is to choose the order. The next adventure starts in about 6 weeks once we’re sure everyone has their copy.
Are you in? Which adventure should we read next?
Rank your choices 1-3. Abstain from any you don’t plan to read.
Which adventure should we read next?
- Scorching desert
- Wide open savannah
- Bottomless swamp

Ack! I don’t have jungle. Somehow I missed that one when I was buying up the rest of the books hopefully we don’t vote for that one first so I can grab it when other people are getting a different book 
As an aside, @mitrac I love reading all of your club posts. They absolutely make my day

Yes! The BoScoSa combo is a fine choice. Some people report enhanced auditory ease with SaBoSco. Others consider the compatibility of souvenirs due to the strong change in humidity across regions. Plant samples collected in the swamp may dry out in the desert, for example, although you are welcome to eat the plant or use your water ration to nourish it. This may affect your survival.
Not to worry, we are not currently offering this as a group trip. I see you have chosen from our other fine adventures. Thank you for your understanding and for choosing サバイバル・ゲーム outfitters!!
thank you!!!

I ordered all three books. Just noticed that the club will start the week I go to Japan for two weeks. Lol. I know, poor me. Anyway, I’ll try to read to the first decision before I leave, and then catch up once I’m back.

The only one I’m missing still is desert book but I found a way to order it through proxy orders so it’ll be here or at least start shipping in a couple weeks.

Was a decision made? Was there a (quiet) riot? I’m excited to discover which book won - even though I think I’ve covered all bases thanks to Bookoff. My pith helmet is ready!
Edit: Is it Scorching desert?

decided to head off early…mostly wanted to start this because the beginning of these books is always a bit long…
also finding out my geography knowledge of Africa is … abysmal 
though I may have gotten lost already and probably doomed…
guess I’ll wait here with all the friend-shaped poisonous critters and whatnot…
hoping other lost adventurers bring dessert 
to the desert 
…ice cream would be good…it’s warm out here

Look what just arrived, thanks to BookOff, Mercari and Buyee!
Even thought they are second hand books and shipped from Japan, they are in immaculate condition. 
All ready to start the adventure!
