MoneyHelper is a website from the UK’s Money and Pensions Service.
Summary: This government-backed site offers free, impartial guidance on everyday money, debt, savings, homes, work, benefits, and pensions. Its tools range from a budget planner and bill prioritiser to mortgage, redundancy pay, and baby costs calculators, plus a debt advice locator and support by webchat, phone, and WhatsApp. Content is organized around life situations, from a first job to money troubles to retirement.
Big Idea: Money help works best when it’s organized around what’s happening in someone’s life, not around financial jargon.
Playable Takeaway: MoneyHelper’s themes read like a list of life events, each with its own money pressure. A game could make those moments the levels, with each one changing what players need to know and what’s at stake.
