Budgeting & saving
Plan ahead, set aside, and watch a buffer pay off when chaos strikes.
Financial literacy · Board game
The board game that teaches students how money really works.
Roll the dice. Earn, spend, invest, lose, learn. Money Mayhem turns financial literacy into a game students actually want to play.
Real money decisions. No real risk.
Money Mayhem puts students in charge of their own (pretend) finances. They earn income, weigh purchases, take risks — and feel the consequences in real time. By the end of the game, they've made the kinds of decisions adults make every day.
What students walk away with
Smart spending
Needs vs. wants. Splurges that pay off vs. ones that bite back.
Risk & reward
Investment dice, market swings, and the cost of doing nothing.
Real-world skills
Insurance, debt, opportunity cost — concepts they'll actually use.

Each player starts with a job, an income, and a goal. Every turn brings a paycheck, a decision, and a curveball — bills, bargains, bonuses, or breakdowns. The player who navigates the mayhem best wins.
