It all started with the meme.  A ridiculous thought experiment:

 

You’re trapped in an arena with 50 Eagles, 10 Crocodiles, 3 Bears, 7 Bulls, 15 Wolves, 5 Gorillas, 4 Lions, One Hunter, and 10,000 Rats.

"Pick two. They will defend you. The rest are coming to kill you."

 

The internet has spent years arguing about it.
Comment sections filled with elaborate survival strategies.
People suddenly experts in gorilla warfare. 

Spirited debates helped document the combat effectiveness of rodents.

 

Could 10,000 rats overwhelm three bears? Could fifty eagles take down an armed hunter?

 

Everyone has a strategy, and everyone is convinced they are right about it.

Along the way, many suggested:

“this needs to be a simulation.”

 

So I made one.

 

Choose your defenders, enter the arena, and put your theories to the test.

Take the madness further with increasingly outrageous enemies, powerful weapons, through an escalating campaign that pushes the original thought experiment to new heights.

 

After years of debate, the internet has its battlefield.
