On our part we have brought our most important know-how to the project, the ability to treat even the most difficult subjects lightly and with fun, with an immediate and direct language, in addition to the unmistakable 8-bit style.
What have we done specifically? With the “University Escape” video game students enter a space where they have to face obstacles, but it will not be enough to overcome them, they will have to collect as many coins as possible and answer questions on financial issues.
The video game is accessible from a browser, so it does not require any type of download, just click and start playing, simple and immediate.
Once the avatar has been chosen, you enter a game tutorial and then you start an obstacle course. The further you go, the more you learn important notions such as recognizing scams, identifying fake news or even identifying tools and methods for savings and investment, obviously while playing! So be careful, don't lose any coins otherwise you'll be left behind.
