Here is a 6x6 grid, under each square is some treasure:

VIP Days (Both negative and positive amounts)
Exemptions (Bypass the next execution quiz)
Exemption Stealers (Steal an exemption from a player. If no player has an exemption, this does nothing)
Neutralisation (Cancel an exemption from a player. If no player has an exemption, this does nothing)
Quiz score bonuses (Earn both negative and positive amounts to your score in the next execution quiz)
Nothing (Does nothing)
Game Over (Your turn is over and you lose all prizes earned to that point)
For their turn, players must choose one number at a time (posted in bold) and the contents of this square will be revealed. Providing a player doesn’t uncover a game over square, they can choose between taking another turn revealing another square, or cashing in their current winnings. Once you cash in your winnings, or uncover a game over square, you may not take any more turns.
By revealing another square, you are putting at risk your current winnings for the chance of adding further prizes to your winnings.
For example: Bob picks square 1 and wins a day of VIP. He chooses to continue, and picks square 2 and gets a game over. Bob wins nothing and can make no more moves.
Dave picks square 3 and wins a day of VIP. He chooses to continue, and picks square 4 and wins an exemption. He chooses to cash in his winnings, and Dave wins a day of VIP for the prize fund and an exemption to himself. He can make no more moves.
Sarah picks square 5 and wins an exemption steal. She chooses to cash in her winnings, and steals Dave’s exemption for herself. She can make no more moves.
If there are any errors within the task, or any questions – just post in the thread.
