" Its a good hands on learning experience"
" I love how it’s very realistic. Like you will actually utilise the items that you buy (e.g insurance and the stocks) and see how your money is being used to make sure you make your family happy and make sure you do not loose too much money. "
"It was EXTREMELY interactive. Super duper engaging and extremely fun to play. I learnt quite a lot on how the news can affect the stock market. A lot of simulations out there do not show this. "
"It is very engaging and the videos are very educational "
