Night of the Living Debt
© 2016 Learning Games Labs
Designed for older children (in high school and college), this app is designed to introduce credit issues and debt. The game is complicated at first and it takes a few rounds to figure out some of the big concepts (like the importance of going into debt to get your credit rating up). In the game, you survive a zombie outbreak with the right financial decisions. If you use your credit card correctly and manage your college loans, you can stay alive. If not, you start over. The game helps you understand that zombies and debts have a lot in common. They make you stay on your toes and you should be prepared to handle them - or you may be "eaten alive" by bad credit. The grant-funded game is free, and designed to be used alone or in group/school settings. Learn more at http://apps.nmsu.edu/
