Fortunately, the player can choose a high school FBLA competitive event to obtain these skills. The event choice will provide a small text segment of information related to the event skills that should lead to the correct answer or action. When the skills have been obtained, the player will level up to the next floor of the office building to take on more difficult obstacles and choices. At the top floor is the goal, a full time job of his/her dreams. There is a minimum of five skill enhancements per level. The audience is middle school technology students thinking about joining FBLA in high school. Games must conform to an ESRB rating of E for everyone.
