A little about you
No names or personal details are required, just some background so we can understand who took part.
How much do you agree?
There are no right or wrong answers, just your honest view.
Protect your household this week
Today is payday! Money has just come in for rent, groceries, and a little to put aside, and over the next few days, a few everyday online situations will come your way.
Your goal: reach the end of the week with your household's money and accounts safe. Each situation is a chance to secure something.
Two things build up as you go:
Secured savings - grows as you protect the household's money.
Safety shield - rises with every safe, aware choice.
There are no penalties and nothing to lose. If a situation catches you out, you will see what could have happened, then get another go and still secure the reward.
You kept your household safe 🎉
And now, how much do you agree?
Please answer honestly based on how you're feeling right now.
What did you think?
A few questions about the game itself.
