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 nearly a dozen 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…
