How the games work

Some games use tax rules or official data to explore pay, property, inflation and public spending. Others use invented practice prices to compare shopping packs. Each game explains the figures behind its answers.

You can play without signing up and try another game when you finish.

They make good starting points for a conversation about money, at home, in a classroom or in a team meeting. If you want to work out your own figures instead, the calculators page lists every tool on the site.
