Mount Everest Adventure Pack - Summit Lockdown

Summit Lockdown

Mount Everest Geography Adventure Pack

Something at the top of the world is no longer stable.

High in the Himalayas, pressure readings are shifting, ice is moving faster than expected, and conditions along Earth’s tallest mountain are becoming unpredictable. Ari Raider has detected a disturbance hidden within Mount Everest’s high-altitude systems and needs explorers to investigate.

In Summit Lockdown, students explore where Mount Everest is located, how it formed through tectonic plate collisions, and why its environment is one of the most extreme on Earth. As they move through observation stations and underground chambers, they use real geography knowledge to restore balance and work toward unlocking the Mystery Mine, where the Professor hid a specimen.

This adventure turns geography into a high-stakes, story-driven mission filled with exploration and discovery.
