What educators are saying

My kids LOVE this game. Unfortunately, the website was blocked on my school's wifi (I figured it would be), but they were able to play at home for homework, and they were obsessed. What a fun way to get kids excited about financial literacy!
This would be a great supplemental resource for my Personal Finance curriculum, but our school has blocked the website. I ended up using it at home with my children. It is well organized and easy to implement.

Analyze decisions and strategies using probability concepts (e.g., product testing, medical testing, pulling a hockey goalie at the end of a game).
