Have a break & play a game of snakes and ladders


With the scorching heat and intense stress caused by the aftermath of the General Election, it's about time to have a small break over a game of snakes and ladders. Snakes and ladders is a kind of board game played between two or more players. Regardless of race, language or religion, no matter if you are feeling bored, desperate or angered, just gather a pal or two, turn the air-con to the max, and start rolling the dice! It's a simple game after all and also a game to test your luck. The dice is the deciding factor of whether you will land on the cruel snake or the winning ladders. Meanwhile, if you are stuck at the last row, getting all the numbers on the dice that keep you moving back and forward but never to the finish point, you can also grab a bar of Kit Kat and bite into it. Chocolate is a great stress reliever too! 

After a game of snakes and ladders, if you are the winner, it should leave you smiling happily but if you are the loser, don't fret, just grab another person to play another round with you.

After the game, with the Kit Kat wrapper still in your hand (no time to throw it away), it's time to dream of going on a bigger break! It's possible with Kit Kat ®’s Yer Big Break! – a contest organised by Kit Kat ® for illustrators, designers and artists to give your own creative spin on what taking a break means.
 

Not only that you get to get your creative brain cells to work, your piece of artwork may also get a chance to be exhibited, produced and distributed island-wide just like the three artworks by three outstanding artists as a bus-wrap showcase!
