DreamScape: Fostering Financial Cognition through a Serious Game

Financial literacy is critical for economic empowerment, yet access to effective financial education remains uneven.Serious games provide an interactive and accessible approach to financial education, fostering decision-making and cognitive development through immersive gameplay.In this demonstration, we present DreamScape, a narrative-driven serious game designed to teach financial literacy through interactive storytelling and puzzle-based mini-games.By leveraging narrative immersion and problem-solving mechanics, this online demo illustrates how interactive systems and creative design can foster economic empowerment, contributing to a more financially literate and equitable society.

Abstract

Financial literacy is critical for economic empowerment, yet access to effective financial education remains uneven.Serious games provide an interactive and accessible approach to financial education, fostering decision-making and cognitive development through immersive gameplay.In this demonstration, we present DreamScape, a narrative-driven serious game designed to teach financial literacy through interactive storytelling and puzzle-based mini-games.By leveraging narrative immersion and problem-solving mechanics, this online demo illustrates how interactive systems and creative design can foster economic empowerment, contributing to a more financially literate and equitable society.
