Parenting Snakes and Ladders takes the familiar format and applies it to the important emerging subject of parenting skills. To go up the ladders and avoid the snakes players have to choose the best option for dealing with a range of parenting problems.

Each problem has three choices and players can choose from five age groups from baby to teenager.

The game has 75 parenting dilemmas, 75 health and development questions and over 40 general discussion themes. All text is spoken as well as appearing on screen.
