Escape the Grind

Do you enjoy clicking "next month"? If so, this is the game for you! I've played many games like this before, but this one seemed to have a really cool angle at first -- we could input our own numbers and play our own real lives in the game. That seemed really cool! But as a guy in his 40s who has a good job and no non-mortgage debt, it just became "click next month" over and over. Occasionally, I'd invest in a vending machine that would give me $11 a month, which isn't even petty cash. I'd save up $50k cash to buy rental properties, which is a real life dream of mine, but there's no actual gameplay to it...you just click a button, and now you've got +300/month or whatever. When I started inputting in my numbers, it asked if I have a kid. I do, a teenager, and so I thought maybe I'd be prompted to put in her age and would eventually need to start figuring out college costs in the game. But no. This is just a "click next month" simulator, for ever and ever and ever. (And then occasionally click the stress ball a few times in a row).

You mean I’m this bad with finances?! 😂 This game is more real than I thought. It really opened my eyes to my bad financial habits and showed me things I could invest in to get myself going in life.It’s actually very educational. One thing I noticed while playing the Kenyan side is that I have a car, but I’m still using a matatu! 😂Definitely an eye-opening game. I recommend it!

Fun game, I like the new features added, but it would be nice if we could get some more late game options for either making companies or buying more high new worth items. Overall, good game though.

Wow, this is more than a game! The most interesting part is that I can play with my own salary and expenses! I’m literally playing my life and learning how to manage my finances step by step. I just learned about investing and where to invest in kenya. im gonna do it. This is an amazing concept. I highly recommend it!

Very nice

I honestly like the concept of this game. It made me think a lot before making those financial decisions. I would recommend the game to anyone who wants to start thinking differently about how they manage money. The one thing i dont like is how quickly my stress builds up😂. I think it would be great to have something like prayer as a free way to reduce stress. What do you think?
