Could You Survive One Day 50,000 Years Ago?

You wake up in Ice Age Europe, 50,000 years ago. No phone. No jacket. No shoes. Just a cold valley, hungry predators, and one question: could you make it to tomorrow? One day. Six challenges. Cold, fire, tools, food and water, the night, and the people around the fire, who might not even be your species. Most of us would fail almost all of them.
