Gameplay

The contestant must choose which "expert" wants to compete with. The game unfolds as the contestant answers general culture questions with four options and ascends an eight-step ladder as the answer is correct. A question corresponds to each step: if the participant answers correctly and the expert also answers, they go up one step; If the expert answers wrongly, go up two steps. If the participant answers wrong, descends one step and loses one of the three lives with which he begins to play. However, if the expert is also wrong, the participant remains on the same rung and does not lose any life. The game ends when all three lives are lost.

The main objective is to get to the eighth step. If the participant arrives, wins 20,000 pesos, but if answers correctly to a question from the experts, wins 50,000 pesos, and has the possibility of competing for the final prize, a 0 km car. [3]
