Whiteout on the Plateau
You're crossing an open tundra plateau on a two-day traverse. Fog rolled in an hour ago and closed to 30 feet of visibility. Your GPS just died — batteries were older than you thought. You have a paper map, a compass, and a partner who is starting to guess at directions out loud.
Score multipliers rise with your accuracy. The decision window tightens after every recommended call and widens after every miss. Miss the window and the step scores zero.
