Prize Ladder Quiz
Climb a 15-question prize ladder to a million coins. Use 50:50, Skip and Poll lifelines, lock in safe havens, beat the clock, or walk away while you are ahead.
Prize Ladder Quiz is a game show style trivia game set under the warm spotlights of a TV studio. Every correct answer moves you one rung up a 15-step money ladder, from 100 coins all the way to a 1,000,000 coin top prize. One wrong answer ends the climb, so every choice carries real tension, and the final answer lock-in pause builds suspense before the reveal.
The questions start easy and grow harder every three rungs, drawn from more than 200 general knowledge questions across geography, history, science, nature, space, the arts, sports, numbers and culture. The first five questions have a 30 second clock and the next five a 45 second clock; from question 11 you can take as long as you need. You get three lifelines per climb: 50:50 removes two wrong answers, Skip swaps the question for a new one at the same prize level, and Poll shows how a studio audience would vote, which becomes less reliable as the questions get harder. Reaching questions 5 and 10 locks in safe havens, and you can walk away with your winnings at any time. Many answers come with a short explanation.
It suits quiz fans who like a classic quiz show format. Your career bank, best prize and per-category stars are saved. Tip: save the Poll for the middle rungs, where the audience is still fairly sharp.
How to play
Answer 15 multiple choice questions in a row to reach the 1,000,000 coin top prize. Each correct answer climbs one rung; a wrong answer or running out of time ends the climb and you keep only your last safe haven (2,500 after question 5, 75,000 after question 10). Use each lifeline once per climb: 50:50 removes two wrong answers, Skip replaces the question, Poll shows the audience vote. Walk away at any time to keep your current winnings. Your final coins are your score.
