Three quick games about real life: money, choices and keeping your cool. No sign-in, nothing saved, no right person to be. Just pick one and play.
Game 1 · Money skills
Paycheck Challenge
You just got your first job. Make choices for one month and try to finish with money left over and some saved.
Where will you live?
Housing is usually the biggest bill. Choose wisely.
Game 2 · Decision making
Choose Your Path

Game 3 · Coping skills
Calm Down Toolkit
Everybody gets overwhelmed sometimes. Try a tool and see what works for you. You can use these anywhere, anytime.
Breathe with the circle
Breathe in as it grows, hold, breathe out as it shrinks, hold. Four seconds each. Try four rounds. It tells your body it’s safe to slow down.
