Netflix Singapore Bird Box contest: which character will survive the apocalypse?

Participate in the Netflix Singapore Bird Box contest and stand a chance to win an official survival kit filled with limited edition merchandise.

Here, we’re testing if you know your Netflix characters well enough to see them survive the post-apocalyptic Bird Box world. All those hours spent watching Netflix might prove to be worth it after all.

In Netflix’s post-apocalyptic movie Bird Box, which launched recently on December 21, 2018, a mysterious force decimates the world’s population in a very simple way: if you see it, it makes you take your life. Facing the unknown, Malorie, played by Sandra Bullock, must flee with her two children down a treacherous river to the one place left that may offer sanctuary. But to survive, they’ll have to undertake the perilous two-day journey blindfolded.

With the movie all the rage now, we’ve partnered with Netflix to pit four characters against each other. The contenders? Mowgli (Mowgli), Violet Baudelaire (A Series of Unfortunate Events), Eleven (Stranger Things) and Sabrina Spellman (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina). Your task is to decide which character would most likely survive the Bird Box apocalypse.

Three lucky participants of the Netflix Singapore Bird Box contest who choose the winning character will walk away with an official Netflix x Bird Box survival kit filled with limited edition merchandise. Simply follow the steps on Straatosphere’s Facebook and Instagram to enter the Netflix Singapore Bird Box contest. You can also submit your answer on both platforms to have a higher chance of winning.

But first, find out all you need to know about the contenders below before giving your most creative answer.
