A free free browser game about the one habit that actually builds wealth: sticking to your plan. Travel from your first paycheck to your goal, one decision at a time, and try not to chase the hot tip. I'm a marketer, not an engineer, so I built it with AI in a weeke browser game. Travel from your first paycheck to the finish line. You win by sticking to your plan, not by getting rich.

The game is Oregon Trail, but for your finances. You travel from your first paycheck to your goal, one decision at a time. The twist: you don't win by getting rich. You win by writing a plan and sticking to it when the trail turns hard and the hot tip is screaming. It's free, about five minutes, no signup. I'd genuinely love feedback on the writing and the endings, and I want to hear what rank you finish with. Play it here: longtrailgame.com Thanks for taking a look. I lead marketing and growth with financial advisors, and I'm not an engineer. The Long Trail started from a simple frustration: most financial content is built to be read, and people scroll right past it. I wanted to make something people would actually play. So I wrote the questions and the story, and used AI to turn that into a full, working game, the art, the site, all of it, in about a week. That part still amazes me and shows just how much the world has changed.

@jack_casady I like the idea of teaching investing behaviour rather than chasing returns, especially since sticking to a plan is usually the hardest part. What have players found most challenging so far: resisting the "hot tip" temptation, or staying patient through the slower parts of the journey?

@nicole_hynek Thank you! It's been a wide range of results, sometimes it's the quick exit paths that get you, or selecting maybe the mentally better choice versus the best one for the plan.
Excited to see more results!
