Shapes & Ladders 1.0

Shapes and Ladders is a thought-provoking video game that sheds light on the presence of systemic racism and sexism in professional environments. With its narrative set within the framework of a corporate ladder, players are challenged to maneuver through an office setting filled with obstacles.

In the game, players can embody a circle, square, or triangle, each with unique mechanics that mirror the disparities experienced by different demographics. For instance, circles are more prone to facing instances of workplace sexual harassment and have limited access to resources.

This simulation aims to foster empathy by offering players a firsthand experience of structural inequalities. By providing these insights, Shapes and Ladders strives to encourage individuals to advocate for positive change in reality.
