About this app

The CHUTES AND LADDERS: Ups and Downs app from PlayDate Digital, licensed by Hasbro transforms the beloved CHUTES AND LADDERS board game into an interactive story. It features exciting animations, beautiful illustrations, and learning elements that reinforce the idea of cause and effect and making positive decisions.

Help guide a group of friends around the CHUTES AND LADDERS neighborhood by progressing through different “Sidewalk Chapters.” Decisions your early and emerging readers make land the characters on the ‘chutes’ and ‘ladders’ of life, good and bad choices that help us get ahead, or not! From the baseball field to the cookie jar, life is filled with choices and temptations, but it’s all about learning that good choices can lead to some pretty sweet rewards! Make a bad choice and there will be consequences. Mr. Chutes, the app’s friendly guide, will show you the way…or will he?

It’s a ‘choose your own’ adventure kind of story that makes every experience in the app different, with the perfect mix of story and chance!!

Ratings and reviews

Not well implemented at all. Like the others said, yes, the very end glitches and replays the dialogue from some poor choice from a previous chapter. Easy fix I'm guessing. But, beyond that the game is awful, even for a 3-year old. Each chapter you hit a ladder and just skip to the end, no explanation? Bad game.

Well, I guess I should have read the reviews first.. we were expecting a video game version of the classic Shoots and Ladders game. This is a story book adaptation... Not what we were expecting.

Has a bug in the last chapter, it keeps repeating that you shouldn't draw on walls and takes you "back to start" which is the same screen.
