Move 3 ยท Grow

Cash is handy. But it slowly shrinks.

Keep some cash for emergencies. But prices rise every year, so the same coins buy less and less. In the last part of the game you find out why, and how people protect their savings with things that can't simply be created: gold, Bitcoin and one-of-a-kind property.

A learning game, not financial advice. Prices of all of these can fall, sometimes a lot.

How much of my allowance should I keep?
A good start: put a part away first, before you spend, even just 2 coins out of 10. The habit matters more than the amount. ๐Ÿซ™
And what do I do with it?
Keep some ready for surprises. Later, when you have more, you can grow the rest. The game shows you how.
Ask Nugget anything

Curious? Nugget explains it in plain words.

Allowance, budgets, side hustles, saving, prices, gold, Bitcoin: ask whatever you want. Nugget is honest about risk, never pushy, and never asks who you are.

For teachers and parents

Fits in one lesson. Sparks a whole discussion.

15 to 20 minutes

Students play on their own phone or laptop, then compare results. Everyone starts in the same world, so scores are comparable.

No sign-up, no personal data

No accounts, names or emails. Progress stays on the student's device. We only count anonymous game events.

Ready-made discussion

The 10 money ideas page has every lesson, question and video, with prompts for class discussion.

Works anywhere

Phones, tablets, laptops, school networks. Bigger text in the menu.

Earning, spending and saving come first. The last part adds ideas from the Austrian school of economics: sound money, why prices rise when money is created, patience and ownership. It is education, not financial advice.

For adults only. Students: please don't share personal details.

100 coins. 10 years. 3 moves.
