How a hard idea becomes something people can do.
Research by the team, notes on the method, and plain-language explainers. Published learning research is named as such. These are not client case studies.
What the evidence says.
Longer pieces by the team: meta-analyses read closely, our own playtest data, and the design reasoning behind FinBild and FinAI. Every figure is cited.
Can a 90-minute game fix Europe's money problem?
Only 18% of EU adults score high on financial literacy. A multi-country randomized trial of the Financial Escape Room shows what a short game can do, and where the evidence stops.
Game-Based Learning in the Age of AI
What four large reviews say about learning through games, what AI might add, and the risks worth taking seriously before anyone promises dramatic gains.
Why FinAI never lets the language model pick the number
Language models write fluent explanations and can still invent a price. How FinAI splits the work between deterministic engines and narration, and what that design does not solve.
Name it after: the research behind FinBild's metaphor games
Why the FinBild games show no coins, percentages, or portfolio words during play, and the cognitive science that decides when the financial term finally appears.
What 55 players told us about The Safe Spread
The first measured FinBild game. Results from 55 post-play surveys on 9 September 2026, what they show about the egg-and-basket metaphor, and what they cannot show yet.
The method, one idea at a time.
Short notes on metaphor, memory, delays, and why a training shortcut has to be tempting.
The name should arrive after the choice.
Vocabulary sticks when it has an experience to land on. The label is the last step, not the title.
A scene only works if the cause survives.
Lakoff and Johnson's point, applied. If the object drops the relationship, it is decoration.
What we will not put on a slide.
One measured game. No invented retention figures. FinAI explains an engine. It does not advise.
Working memory is a short shelf.
A few chunks, not a paragraph. The shelf on the neuroinclusive page is a demonstration of that limit.
The yield flashes before the stock moves.
Donella Meadows on delays. People feel the reward now. The system answers later.
Make the shortcut tempting.
Transfer is narrow. A mission has to practice the minute someone wants to skip the check.
One concept per article.
