Corporate Dad: The Life Obstacle Course (working titles: Corporate Dad: Life Obstacles)
Great Businessman... Hopeless Dad...
The Story
Short Summary: A workaholic father is set a challenge to take his two warring children on a camping trip to teach them some valuable life lessons and problem-solving skills from their favourite Life Obstacles Board Game but when the woods and creatures in it suddenly start to mimic and put to the test some of the life obstacles board game challenges, things take a slightly chaotic turn as the woods, camp site, creatures and nature suddenly seem to transform into a giant board game full of tricky moves and natural games pieces. Due to the family's disbelief in themselves, each other and the magic of nature that surrounds them, they have to not only rediscover themselves as well as each other but also find a way to embrace nature's magic which at this campsite seems to be hanging and dripping from every branch and leaf as some of the magical creatures and magical natural elements participate in their Life Obstacles Game. On the journey home which almost doesn't happen due to the three's failure to pass some of the life obstacle game challenges, things start to become even more personally challenging when their father crosses paths with an old friend facing hard times due to the loss of his family in a tragic accident. At this point, his children then challenge him to not only assist but also to fix his friend's life with their board game and their assistance which certainly isn't a match made in familial success due to their past lack of familial cooperative teamwork.
