The year is 1160 BCE. Pharaoh Rameses is dead, his tomb and the treasures within safely hidden in the majestic Valley of the Kings. Or so you thought... The papyrus scroll showing the way to the pharaoh''s tomb has been stolen. Now it''s up to you to stop the thieves before they can raid the priceless artifacts that are meant to stay with Rameses for all eternity. With nothing but your instinct and your trusty Survival Spinner (included), can you catch the culprits and ensure the pharaoh''s rest goes undisturbed? Or will you fall victim to the dangers of the desert? In this chance-filled choose-your-own-adventure gamebook, you''ll crack hieroglyphic codes, encounter ravenous crocodiles in the Nile, and dodge deadly traps as you attempt to solve the mystery and protect the pharaoh''s treasures. It''s your story, your way: make your choice and spin to survive. Every decision you make could lead to success... or disaster. Flip back and forth through the book as you play through a new adventure with every read, where each scenario might lead to certain death, or any number of unexpected surprises. Along the way, uncover facts about ancient Egypt, from the lifestyles of the common folk to the mysterious rites of the dead, all the way up to the nature of the gods themselves. With your fate in the hands of chance, no two journeys through Spin to Survive:The Pharaoh''s Curse are ever the same, and there are always more secrets to discover.

Employees offered explanations for why they think suicidal people may choose the railway as their method and location of suicide, including environmental factors and access points. They suggested changes which can be implemented by the industry to discourage suicidal behaviours and increase help seeking behaviours. Employees identified that they need more support when managing and preventing railway suicides, including training, awareness and support from colleagues and outside agencies. The results of this study have demonstrated that some railway employees are willing to play a part in the prevention and management of railway suicides and learn how to identify warning signs, gain skills for interacting with people in crisis and make the railway a safer environment for staff and members of the public. To be able to do so effectively, there is need for the industry to devise and implement preventative initiatives which incorporate a collaborative approach with other agencies, in line with current National Suicide Prevention policies and guidance. This will better equip employees with the appropriate skills and resources, through clear interventions, protocols and partnership working, to safely manage people at risk. This should be considered in line with identified socio-environmental factors that contribute to individual''s choice of method of suicide as being the railway.
