Another day, another chance to think about financial literacy! As you may have heard earlier this week, Filament just launched a game with our friends at Intuit called Credit Climber, a narrative educational game designed to young people about how credit scores work. To celebrate this momentous occasion, Filament’s own Dan Norton and Brandon Pittser recently played Credit Climber on the Game-based Learning Review, live and with no tape delays to hide our financial blunders! We were joined by Kellie Lu, Game Designer at Filament and Design Lead on Credit Climber, and had a wide-ranging conversation about why narrative games are great for education, what it was like designing a game around financial literacy, and what it was like working with the good people at Intuit. Watch the recording above and be sure to subscribe and tune in every Monday at 12:30pm CST for more of the Game-based Learning Review!
