When you set up a Fantasy Funds game, it is up to you who will be able to play. Different combinations are possible depending on your objectives. You can open up the first game competition to anyone and allow only subscribers to play the next round, or limit the number of portfolios or tools to free players and give more advantages to current paying readers, and so on. Fantasy Funds is flexible to meet your financial gamification needs.
Typically a game lasts between 8 and 24 weeks. The duration is set based on your preference and goals.
Financial literacy is a great hook for attracting new users, whether these are customers, readers, or subscribers. Gamifying financial literacy, making learning fun, motivates and incentivizes users to continue playing. Games are sticky and allow for incremental learning that leads to greater engagement.
