Users follow the story of two entrepreneurial families as they tackle personal, financial, and business decisions. As the player of this game, the aim is to help the families create a successful business. In just a couple of hours, users can master the essentials of saving, budgeting, borrowing, and banking, among many other topics. The game targets three age-groups – Children (9-12), Adolescents’ (13-17), and Youth (18-29) and can be accessed through a person’s desktop browser or through a dedicated mobile phone application.  The game can be played on any Android or IOS based smart phone.

During such an unprecedented time amid COVID-19, when businesses, schools, and other public venues are closed around the country and remote learning has increased significantly, the youth of Pakistan may take advantage of their free time and gain the much needed financial literacy training through this game which will help them to understand financial matters.

Anyone who completes the course would be awarded with a Certificate of Financial Literacy. This digital certificate is jointly issued by the National Institute of Banking and Finance (NIBAF), a subsidiary of the SBP and National Financial Literacy Program for Youth (NFLP-Y).
