I chose this project due to children's alarming lack of financial literacy. Research by Annamaria Lusardi shows over 15% of students struggle with basic money tasks. in the US over 10 million teens lack confidence in financial decisions. This game creates a fun and creative way to educate them.

One challenge that was faced when making the project was implementing challenging concepts without overloading the players with informations, which causes them to get confused and thus stop playing.We condensed these information down to their simpler counterpart e.g compound vs simple interest.

We faced limitations in teaching all financial concepts as we couldn’t include everything without players losing retention. With more time, we’d add a purchasable second map to introduce new concepts gradually. This repeated process would create a better gameplay loop, keeping players engaged.
