Break the Glass Ceiling
Break the Glass Ceiling is a 2016 video game about overcoming misogynistic and sexist pressures in daily life. Inspired by their own experiences, the documentary Miss Representation,[1] and the Girls Who Code summer program,[2] the creators started the game where a girl character named the glass gladiator has to dodge sexist comments while climbing up a ladder for four levels. It was created by Nibha Akireddy, Sadie Byun, Zoe Ellyse Del Rosario, and Phoebe Yin. As of August 2016, it has been available as a web game.
Gameplay
In Break the Glass Ceiling, the player climbs a ladder representing the rungs of society with the goal of finishing four levels—childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and career—in order to see a win screen where the glass gladiator character breaks a glass ceiling. The enemies are "bad boys" who insult the character using comments seen in daily life. They mature with each level. In between levels, there are mini-games that teach the user coding and other fields that are male-dominated.
