"Challenge" cards contain trivia questions about business, famous women, and women's issues. Answering the question correctly awards money. There is no penalty for answering incorrectly.

Answers are compared to the solutions printed on the card and money is awarded or penalized based on which answer the player's solution most closely matches. Ages 12 and up.
