\u201cEscape From Knab<\/a>, The Adventure\u201d is the coolest online money game ever! It\u2019s designed for use by middle and high school students \u2013 our teens! ;o)<\/p>\n \u201cFasten Your Seatbelt! You are about to take off on an adventure to the strange and slimy planet Knab. Make the right choices while you are there and you can return to the planet Earth. Live dangerously and who knows what may happen. Good Luck!\u201d<\/p>\n Your teens arrive in January and they won\u2019t be able to take that next rocket back to Earth until July. Yes, each teen has only six months to earn $10,000 for a ticket back home. Will your teens return or will they have to stay on Knab for another six months? ;o)<\/p>\n This is an enchanting educational simulation which takes kids (anyone really!) through a series of financial decision-making experiences in the fun and entertaining setting of the fictitious planet, Knab, where visitors discover the results of their actions and decisions. With the variety of choices given, each visit is different.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a \u201cHandy Pocket Translator\u201d that provides more information with a definition or further explanation of the terms. The \u201cMonthly Statement\u201d acts as a personal financial reference to help with decision-making. Oh, and a \u201cKnab Blab\u201d — yes, it \u201cblabs\u201d important news!<\/p>\n You\u2019re given a choice of jobs, asked to fill out a W-4 form, make a budget (but quick you\u2019re running out of oxygen and you need to buy more canisters!), asked to write out a check, buy an affordable house and buy or lease a hovercraft (you can\u2019t walk around!), given investment choices and take your one week vacation or exchange it for one week of pay.<\/p>\n Then it\u2019s July, your flight is departing Knab! Sell your house, cash in your investments and pay off all your debts. Did you save the $10,000 to buy your ticket?<\/p>\n Cheers \u2026 Amanda van der Gulik \u2026 Excited Life Enthusiast! ;o)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This already the sixth post about fun resources and games for kids to help with their financial education.
