Ratings and reviews

Definitely recommend checking out this game. Real creative way to learn budgeting. I really appreciate the author's balance between a realistic take on budgeting (life events, student loan debt, etc.) while also streamlining the process in an entertaining way. I would double my recommendation for anyone new to budgeting, but this is plenty of fun for anyone of any budgeting expertise. In addition to the budgeting is the story which is integrated well. I liked the story. The game encourages multiple playthroughs to try different careers and expose the player to different life events. The comic book art style is also pretty cool. I haven't seen too many games with a similar presentation.

Hi, so I've played this game until the budgeting scenes. But then I'm overbudgeting and got asked to steal some money from another budget slot. But I can't seem to click on any budget buttons, the touchscreen on that part seems freezed. Idk why. But I still can touch another button like settings, achievement or save game. Could you please recover it for me?

This game is an engaging, educational, and essential tool for helping teens and young adults understand the financial process! With this gameified experience, players create their avatars and navigate through "life" making financial/mathematical decisions. The interface is fun, colorful, and animated. As an educator, I cannot wait to recommend this to my coworkers and professional learning network! This tool is a gamechanger!
