Looking for a book title

Anthony M

I'm trying to remember the title of a book I read years ago. It's about a kid who has to make his way through a world which is based on a snakes and ladders board. Each square of the board is a different part of the world. There's one with a museum in it, but it's called a u-see-em. There's also two Kings in it, based on a chess set. One red and one white. One of the king's is called Dwain or Dwight I think! If anyone knows the book I'm on about, I'd love to know the name of it as I would really like to read it again!
