Details

MentaMorph Money is a financial game with workshops that helps users better understand how to practice making financial and life decisions. “Make your financial mistakes here, so they don’t cost you in the real world.”

The game is projected to be ready in the Fall and will be used in eight workshop modules. The plan in Phase 2 is to convert the workshop content into Help content within the game in order to make the game a standalone game. That's what this project is about.

The MentaMorph game provides players with income, expenses, assets, debt, and real life situations like emergencies. The rules are simple: each round or week has real life needs and expectations to fulfill and the goal is to use the income and assets earned to survive and thrive. Mimicking real life financial situations, this game is not only fun but educational.

Scenarios will be created for virtually any audience. The tree farm scenario in the video is one example. The education version uses symbols of circles, squares etc as shown in the sample education module's slides. The Help is expected to use the symbols-based structure.

Each scenario also includes investment choices. For instance, the very first game includes a low volatility stock, high volality stock and mutual fund. This project is about coming up with multiple investment profiles to be incorporated into the game.

MentaMorph is revolutionizing financial literacy education by combining technology, gaming and education in a whole new way. MentaMorph Money is a mobile game and workshops to practice financial decisions where it isn't boring, scary or costly to make mistakes. Users practice financial decisions in rounds like in real life, making multiple simultaneous decisions about income, expenses, assets and liabilities. Income Statements, Balance Sheets and graphs display progress and results and measure improvement. Educational content is paired with the game for participants to quickly and effectively gain distinctions on strategies for financial success.
Our goal is to mentally morph millions of minds about money.
