1. Stranded on a Mysterious Island

After a routine flight aboard Bing Bong Airlines ends in disaster, a group of scouts finds themselves alone on an island filled with strange vessels, magical statues, and a menacing fog. Scattered luggage suggests countless previous crash victims, hinting at a cycle of doom reminiscent of the Bermuda Triangle. As the fog encroaches, players must scramble for food, gear and, most importantly, Scoutmaster Myers’s survival guide to discover how to climb the peak.

2. Scoutmaster Myers’s Survival Guide

Near the wreckage, the scouts recover a worn handbook penned by Scoutmaster Myers, a veteran leader with four decades of experience. His preface emphasizes two core lessons:

1. Reach High Ground Quickly The higher you climb, the better your chance of rescue.
2. Rule Zero: Never Abandon a Friend This rule underpins every journal entry and haunts the island’s mysteries.

Myers’s tips cover pacing (manage stamina and weight), teamwork (always lend a hand), and reading the environment (campfires reveal hidden paths). Following his advice is essential for turning back the fog’s creeping threat.

3. Lost Pages: Myers’s Final Hours

Throughout the climb, scouts discover eight additional pages from Myers’s lost expedition, each revealing more of his tragic end:

• Page 1: Arrival by ship forty years ago; optimism in teamwork.
• Pages 2–4: Tips on foraging (mushrooms, campfires) and encountering life‑restoring statues that bend mortality.
• Page 5: A cursed fruit lures Myers into a deep sleep, foreshadowing doom.
• Page 6: His troop abandons him in the snow, breaking rule zero.
• Page 7: Rage and despair transform his spirit into an undead guardian.
• Page 8: A final plea, “Never abandon a friend in need,” scrawled in desperation.

Piecing these fragments together explains why Myers’s ghostly form stalks any scout who tries to summit alone.

4. The Undead Guardian

Scoutmaster Myers returns not as a hero but as a wrathful spirit. If any player reaches the peak without their team, Myers appears as a tall, shadowy figure and attacks. His curse enforces the lesson he learned at the cost of his own life: betrayal carries dire consequences. To avoid his wrath, scouts must stick together and prioritize each other’s safety.

5. True Summit and Hidden Gem

Lighting successive campfires clears the fog and unveils the real mountain summit beyond a volcanic ridge. Here, a magnificent statue holds a mysterious gem—an unused asset hidden in the game’s files. Its purpose remains unknown, but it may hint at future updates or the island’s ultimate treasure. Finding it requires careful exploration after defeating the fog and its guardians.

Peak isn’t just a co‑op climbing challenge—it’s a story about loyalty, sacrifice, and the consequences of betrayal. Scoutmaster Myers’s sad journey from trusted guide to undead warden underscores the power of rule zero.  By working together, honoring Myers’s lessons, and exploring every hidden nook, you’ll overcome the island’s curse and finally reach the summit. Stay united, keep the campfires lit, and remember: no scout gets left behind. Check out the game right now Peak in Steam!
