The Backyard Trials: Grounded Permadeath

Follow The Backyard Trials: Grounded Permadeath — a brutal, tiny-scale survival challenge where every bug, boss, and blade of grass can end the run. Permadeath rules, survival logs, and chaos await.

🔍 What is The Backyard Trials?

Grounded shrinks you down and throws you into a backyard full of deadly bugs, towering grass, and unexpected danger. The Backyard Trials is my permadeath survival run through the world of Grounded — where one mistake means the end.

Each day will be logged, every mistake will be costly, and survival is never guaranteed.

This series follows the same core format as my other Survivor Incognito runs:

  • Daily survival entries
  • Permadeath stakes
  • Humour, near-death moments, and hopefully – actual progress
  • One life. One run. No second chances

⚠️ The Rules

The Backyard Trials follows the Survivor Incognito: Grounded Rules of Survival — custom built for permadeath runs.

In short:

  • Medium Difficulty
  • No external guides
  • No cheese or exploits
  • Permadeath active: death = series end
  • Food & water management required, but no bunker-hoarding
  • Arachnophobia Mode may be used for comfort
  • Building allowed — survival focused, not mega-fortresses
