The Ladder is unlike any escape room you’ve ever played before. Get ready to embark on a 50-year career at Nutricorp, an Omaha-based vitamin company with more than a few dark secrets to hide. Each room of The Ladder represents a decade—from the rockin’ 1950s to the less rockin’ 1990s—and features both scored games and puzzles. Your score (i.e. how much money you’re making) will allow you to raise a family or hire a secretary, while solving the super-tough and fully optional puzzles will allow you to make choices that change the story in fundamental ways…and might even grant you access to a whole secret room. Featuring a 90-minute runtime, 5 playable avatars, 8 different sets, and 9 different endings, The Ladder has been designed to blow your mind not once, not twice, but as many times as you care to visit. Will you play as a hero or a villain? Will you make your first billion or wind up penniless? And did you ever figure out what was in that mysterious pneumatic capsule? Well, you know what they say: if at first you don’t succeed…you’re probably a talentless hack. Or maybe you should try again…

Audience Role

Teams select one of five playable avatars to represent them as they climb to the top of the corporate ladder. It's up to them to make sure the company doesn't crash and burn... unless they want it to.
