About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone! If you're already a fan of *Flash Point: Fire Rescue* and looking for an extra challenge, the *Fire Academy Challenge* is for you! This expansion, which started as a promotional treat for Kickstarter backers and a contest, presents a series of scripted scenarios that are true puzzles. The mission remains the same: save as many people as possible (at least seven victims) before the fire gets out of control or the structure collapses. Each challenge is a new test by fire, testing your tactics and teamwork.

The cool part is that you can track your progress and even compare your scores with other teams, turning the game into a friendly competition. It's a great addition for those who enjoy testing strategies in specific scenarios and want more excitement in their firefighting adventures. Get your extinguishers and score sheets ready, because the academy is calling and the danger is real! This expansion adds a layer of planned challenges that require careful planning and precise execution, elevating the cooperative experience to a new level. It's the kind of content that makes you want to beat your own record and prove your team is the best on the front lines.
