The Banking Crisis Challenge

Silicon Valley. Signature. First Republic.

All prizes are game points, with no monetary value.

01 / THE CHALLENGE

From the names in the headlines to the economics behind the rescue.

02 / THE STRATEGY

Eliminate two choices, ask for a hint, or arm one second attempt.

03 / THE PAYOFF

Bank your points anytime. Finish in practice mode and review every explanation.

How the challenge works

Select one of four answers, then choose Lock answer. There is no time limit.
Each correct answer moves you up the prize ladder. Questions 5, 10, and 15 secure checkpoints of 1,000, 20,000, and 150,000 points.
A final wrong answer ends your competitive run at the last secured checkpoint. You can finish the remaining questions in practice mode.
Bank & finish locks in your current prize. You may then continue the unanswered questions in practice mode.
Each lifeline is available once per game. Arm Emergency Liquidity before locking an answer to get one retry on that question.
Sound begins after you start or resume. You can mute it or adjust its volume at any time.
