About the Game
Bush IQ is a survival training game built around judgment, resource pressure, and consequences that follow the player from one day to the next.

Objective
Survive 30 Days
Skill Test
Think Under Pressure
Each location on the map opens a field module. The player studies a real survival principle, makes a decision, and then lives with the result. Water choices affect thirst and health. Shelter choices affect exposure. Poor planning steals energy from the next day.
Modules teach practical concepts such as water purification, fire, shelter, navigation, first aid, weather, and foraging.
Players choose how to spend time, tools, daylight, and energy. Fast decisions are tempting. They are also frequently expensive.
Health, hunger, thirst, energy, shelter, and knowledge shift after each choice. The game remembers mistakes. Very rude, but useful.
Completing modules unlocks new zones, harder conditions, and the path toward extraction.
The point is not to look tough. The point is to stay clear-headed when comfort disappears, options narrow, and every choice has a cost.
Official Trailer
Learn real wilderness skills, manage limited resources, and make decisions that determine whether you see day 31.
Practice real-world fire making, shelter construction, and emergency preparedness.
Adapt to weather, terrain, resource scarcity, and unexpected events.
Every choice matters. One mistake can have consequences for the rest of the expedition.
Gameplay System
Bush IQ drops players into a survival map where each location unlocks a field module. Study the principle, choose your action, manage your resources, and survive long enough to make it to extraction.
Each module begins with a short survival lesson: water safety, shelter, fire, navigation, first aid, foraging, weather, or signaling.
Players decide where to spend time, energy, tools, and daylight. Safer choices may cost more resources. Faster choices may create bigger risks.
Hunger, thirst, injuries, shelter quality, weather, and knowledge shift after every decision. Good judgment keeps you alive. Guessing gets expensive.
Mission Preview
Goal
Survive 30 Days
Active Module
The stream looks clear, but clear water is not the same thing as safe water. Filter, boil, treat, or take the risk.
Careful Choice
Filter and boil. Gain safe water, lose daylight and energy.
Risky Choice
Drink directly. Save time now, risk sickness later. Classic bad bargain.
World Map Modules
Each hotspot opens a playable module. Completing one location can unlock the next survival zone, new gear, or harder conditions.
Orientation and survival priorities.
Learn the first rule: shelter, water, fire, food, and signal. The order matters.
Water sourcing and purification.
Decide whether to filter, boil, treat, or move on. Each option changes thirst, energy, and health.
Foraging and plant identification.
Identify useful plants, avoid harmful lookalikes, and decide whether the calories are worth the risk.
Shelter site selection and weather defense.
Unlock this zone after completing Base Camp and River Crossing.
Navigation, signaling, and route planning.
Use landmarks, sun position, map logic, and emergency signaling to move toward extraction.
Weather reading and risk response.
Bad weather punishes weak shelter, poor timing, and overconfidence. It is very fair, which is to say, completely unforgiving.
First aid and injury management.
Treat cuts, dehydration, exposure, sprains, burns, and sickness before they compound.
The 30-day survival test.
Reach the final zone with enough health, knowledge, and supplies to complete the mission.
