Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

MentaMorph Money is a mobile financial game to practice financial decisions where it isn’t boring, scary or costly to make mistakes. Players make multiple concurrent decisions in rounds like in real life. Through the games, debrief discussions and other activities, participants quickly and effectively gain distinctions on strategies for financial success.

The game uses a web interface that can be used on the PC, iOS, Mac and Android, and is developed in Unity. It is played in rounds with decisions about income, expenses, assets, debts, and emergencies. There are multiple scenarios and increasing levels of complexity.

There are numerous markets to target with varying cost structures, and numerous pricing options. This project is to analyze those options for a pricing structure that is easy to explain and based on the related costs.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

1) Understand the current design of the game, education modules and delivery options to understand the cost and pricing considerations

2) Research pricing models of competitors

3) Evaluate the cost components of the product

4) Propose the pricing/costing model(s)

5) Get feedback from potential customers about the acceptability of the pricing
