ABSTRACT:
A corporate ladder game is provided which includes a playing surface having a plurality of corporate ladders. Each ladder has a plurality of corporate steps or rungs beginning with a first step designated as trainee located at the bottom of the ladder. The top step of each ladder is the position of chief executive officer. The top step is common to all the ladders. A means for indicating a position on each ladder and adapted to be moved from step to step of each ladder is provided for use in playing the game. A means for displaying a plurality of questions and answers used in the game to challenge each player's knowledge of corporate business matters is also provided. Each of the questions and answers has a business related question and a plurality of correct answers associated with each question. Each answer of the plurality of answers has a specific point value. Points which correspond to a correct answer of the question are awarded to players when they select an answer, from a set of answers, which match one of the plurality of answers, so that accumulation by a player of a first predetermined point value will permit movement of that player's position indicator from step to step up the corporate ladder.
