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