Prize Ladder
A free live quiz game for the classroom
A game show for the whole class. Every pupil climbs their own prize ladder towards £1 Million.
The class board during a game of Prize Ladder.
How a round plays
- A right answer lets the pupil pick one of three briefcases.
- Each case lifts them 1, 2 or 3 rungs up a 15-rung ladder to £1 Million.
- A wrong answer drops them back to their last safe rung. Rungs 5 and 10 are safe.
- At the top they bank £1 Million and start again. The most millions wins.
On the board: One giant ladder with every pupil's creature on their rung.
