Starting Out – Museum of London, Docklands

A cool and modern game that carries an old school message ‘keep an eye on your pennies…’

e-bloc were commissioned by MoL Docklands and Citi Group to create and interactive game designed to get younger secondary pupils thinking about how they should manage their finances when they eventually leave school.

The game engine is designed to provide various sources of income - earned and given but more importantly loaded to take that money away by tempting them with every day luxuries such as clothes, iPods and take ways. If the player manages to get through the session with a bank account in the black then they have effectively won, but the chances are that our game engine has bankrupted them!
