ABSTRACT:
A question and answer game involving the field of criminal justice includes a game board, playing tokens, a die and cards. The board includes two playing tracks upon which the playing tokens move. The tracks consist of playing spaces having indicia thereon that relates to different question and answer categories. The two tracks intersect at various points and the intersection points are connected to a retaining area via a path. The retaining areas are in turn connected to one of the two tracks via a one-way path. The cards contain questions and answers relating to three levels of difficulty. Prior to the start of the game, players choose a particular level of difficulty. Thereafter, a player landing on one of the intersection points has the option of answering a question from a higher level of difficulty than that chosen by the player before the start of the game. Correctly answering the question will allow the player to move along the one-way path to a position further ahead on one of the tracks than the player would have been had the player not landed on the intersection point.
