Details

MentaMorph Money is a mobile financial game to practice financial decisions where it isn’t boring, scary or costly to make mistakes. Players make multiple concurrent decisions in rounds like in real life. Through the games, debrief discussions and other activities, participants quickly and effectively gain distinctions on strategies for financial success.

The game uses a cross-platform application on the PC, iOS, Mac and Android, and is developed in Unity. It is played in rounds with decisions about income, expenses, assets, debts, and emergencies. There are multiple scenarios and increasing levels of complexity.

A new function is required for purchasing a car. It must start with the "Candy Crush for financial education" simplicity while adding the complexity needed to thoroughly cover the functions which includes initial costs and operating costs, then financing costs. Ideally it will include comparisons to public transit, electric vehicles and ride services.
