    There is a scholarship attached and it makes it so real! My students love working through the college decisions and trying to graduate!

    Payback is a great opportunity for students to become aware of student debt and the need for balance with connections and academics in a safe environment in a game format.

    This is an amazing resource to help students learn the costs of college. They balance their student debt with metrics of happiness, focus, & engagement. Be prepared for LOTS of great conversation during and after using this interactive!

    My students are playing this tomorrow! I have played SPENT for the last several years and it has started many great conversations. This game will not only start many conversations about the decisions we make for college, but is also a great opportunity for students to win scholarship money! It's easy to use, moves quickly but the pace is controlled by each student, and covers so many areas of decision-making.

    Great game! Students enjoyed and had great experiences. I modified the essay prompts to well developed paragraphs since I teach 220 students but was amazed at the results!

    My students used this last week in my class. It was a great resource! It was quick (game took 15-20 minutes), and students reflected on the game in a short essay. Their thoughts and reviews were eye-opening regarding the costs of college beyond tuition and room & board.
