Our would you survive Ted the Caver quiz starts with a tiny hole deep in a familiar cave and a steady wind blowing out of it. Would you leave it alone, widen it carefully or keep drilling after the strange sounds begin? Make ten choices and find out whether you’d make it out of Floyd’s Tomb.
How to use it
Every question is based on a moment from our Ted the Caver story: the grinding sound, the nervous dog, the hieroglyphics, the blank negatives and the final journal entry. Pick what you would really do underground, and your answers point to one of five outcomes, from staying topside to letting the cave keep you. For more claustrophobic places, browse our locations and sites stories.
