A life-sim where money actually matters
CQ is the heartbeat of the game. Your score rises and falls with every choice you make — and the game lets you live with the consequences.
CQ is the heartbeat of the game
Your Cash Quotient moves with every part of your simulated life: job choices, side hustles, daily expenses, unexpected events, investments, gambling, loans, lifestyle upgrades, relationship decisions — and the random chaos that makes life interesting.
Every choice moves your score
▲ Raises your CQ
- ▲ Side hustles and extra income
- ▲ Emergency funds and insurance

- ▼ Burnout and overwork
- ▼ Random chaos
Game modes
Play the market of life
Build a life from nothing. Every decision counts.
Learn by consequences
A financial-literacy experience that actually sticks.
Compete with friends
Shared worlds, player economies, and public challenges.
Built to teach
The game doesn’t lecture. Instead of being told “emergency funds are important”, you skip the fund, your car breaks down, you borrow at an expensive rate — and you feel why the rule exists. Understanding money makes you better at the game, because the systems interact.
