About Brain Ladder
Brain Ladder is a trivia game about how far you can climb before your luck runs out.
Every question is one rung on the ladder. Answer correctly and you climb. Get it wrong and you lose a life. You start with three, and the clock gets tighter the higher you go.
HOW IT WORKS
Pick from four answers before the timer runs out. You get 15 seconds a question to start, 12 seconds past rung 10, and 10 seconds past rung 20. Harder questions are worth more, and a run of correct answers multiplies what each one pays: three in a row doubles the value, five in a row triples it.
DOUBLE OR BUST
Every fifth rung is a checkpoint. Keep your score and carry on climbing, or gamble the lot on Double or Bust. Get the next question right and your score doubles. Get it wrong and you drop to zero and lose a life. That is where most runs end.
WHAT IS INSIDE
More than 1,500 questions spanning Science, History, Geography, Music, Sport, Film, Art, Literature, Food and Drink, Space, Nature, Animals, Technology, Mathematics, Politics and General Knowledge.
A hint for when you are properly stuck.
High scores kept on your device, showing your best run, the rung you reached and how many you answered correctly.
PLAYS ANYWHERE
Every question is stored inside the app, so Brain Ladder works with no signal at all. On a train, on a plane, in a lift. There is no account to make, nothing to sign up for and no lives to wait for. Open it and play.
Short rounds, so it fits a coffee break. Long climbs, if the questions are falling your way.
Brain Ladder is free and supported by ads.
