Ratings and reviews

Completely unbearable. You are forced to make 10 purchases, many of which are unreasonable and can be completely avoided in real life. Every career is pre generated, meaning that if you you choose the same career as someone else, you will have the same wife and child, as well as similar credit score. The app incredibly buggy and poorly designed. The keyboard will just keep popping up when you want to go back. I hope the schools got some kind of grant money for subjecting us to this garbage.

It was a very fun, enjoyable, and educational experience that showcased the importance of becoming an adult, properly managing funds, and learning how to stay within a proper credit budget to ensure that you're eligible to get your wants and needs.

This experience was really fun, I got to spend $5,000 on different essential needs for my life and my spouses life. Would definitely try this experience again.
