Make it home.
A challenging choose-your-own-adventure survival game. Bail out anywhere on Earth, manage water, shelter and detection, and get to recovery — or don’t.
Every choice has a cost
No hand-holding, no respawns. Think like an evader.
Bail out, then think
Pick where to land, hide your gear, size up the terrain, and plan your communications before anyone finds you.
Manage real pressures
Health, water, energy and morale drain with every hour. Heat, cold, wildlife and weather change the rules.
Stay unseen
Fire, radios, flares and sloppy movement raise your detection meter. Reach 100 and you are captured.
Resist & escape
Captured? A whole resistance chapter tests your resolve with Code of Conduct decisions and a chance to break out.
Honest odds
Every risky option shows a clear risk level, shaped by your stats, your kit and your earlier decisions.
Learn as you play
Each decision ends with a short Field Note on the real survival principle behind it — SURVIVAL, PACE, BLISS and more.
Any place on Earth. Really.
SERE ships with 15 hand-built locations. Type anywhere else — a mountain range, an island, a desert, a city — and the game researches it and builds a brand-new mission around its real terrain, climate and wildlife.
- Search any place name.
- SERE looks up its geography and description online.
- It infers the terrain, builds the briefing and scenes, and saves the mission to your device.

Questions
Is SERE free?
Yes. The game is free and supported by ads. A banner appears on menus, a short ad may appear between missions, and you can optionally watch a rewarded ad to retry your last decision once per mission.
Does SERE need an account?
No. There is no sign-up. Your progress, saved mission and learned locations stay on your device.
How does it build missions for new places?
When you search a place that isn’t built in, SERE looks up its coordinates and a short description from open geographic sources, infers the terrain and climate, and generates a mission that uses those details. It needs an internet connection for that step only. Details are in the privacy policy.
Is this real military training?
No. SERE is a fictional game inspired by public survival-training concepts. It is not training, medical advice or a substitute for professional instruction, and it isn’t affiliated with the U.S. Air Force or the Department of Defense.
