ICMS Journey of Life Webgame

Rags to Riches is an event organised by the International Council of Malaysian Scholars in collaboration with Maybank. The event is about raising financial literacy among the Malaysian Youth through learning about financial planning.

Game Details

Participants will participate in a "credit score simulation" game, where they will be given a prompt and options to select from. Their goal is to make the financially-wise choice in order to grow their capital and improve their credit score.

• Early questions would start off simple with obvious answers.
• Later questions would target the grey areas of financial planning where the answer is not always obvious in the short term, but has long term impacts.
• A credit score is maintained throughout the game that changes according to their borrowing/lending activities.
• Players start with initial capital that will change according to their buying/selling activities.
