What is this game about?
This game, CreditSafe, challenges you to use credit cards wisely. At the beginning of the game, you select a profile similar to your true financial situation. Next, you set up amounts in your checking and savings accounts and income from your jobs or other sources such as allowances from parents. Then, you select up to three credit cards, which you'll be using in the game.

Now, you use your credit cards to purchase items for projects that you select. After selecting a project, such as building a desktop computer, you are allowed to buy items over the course of several weeks toward that project. You are challenged with using the credit cards responsibly and you are scored on how well you use your credit cards, pay your credit card balances, and manage your money.

To make CreditSafe even more realistic, we have life events pop up randomly throughout the game. One event may be that you sat on your glasses and you must buy another pair for $100. A good event may be that your Grandma sent you a gift for $50. For further credit card or game information, see the online manual (PDF).
