THE STORYLINE People are losing
confidence in their ability to save and invest.
This confusion is called “the Murktide.”
![Page 5: What is the Gen i Revolution?? or facebook.com/genirevolution](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d755503460f94a55d8f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The mysterious Monique founded her movement, the Gen i Revolution, to fight the Murktide.
Students take on the role of operatives in Monique’s movement.

BEYOND THE MISSION
Interactive game with full tablet and Facebook support
You are an advisor to your peers – make good recommendations!
Two voice characters will also advise, but one is a double agent for the Murktide
![Page 8: What is the Gen i Revolution?? or facebook.com/genirevolution](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d755503460f94a55d8f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
BEYOND THE MISSION
To win, make the right recommendations every time.
Even one wrong choice along the way will, at the end, return you to the start.
Bonus points if you identify the double agent!

MURKTIDE INVASION
Interactive game with full tablet and Facebook support
This game is just a 100-question quiz on personal finance
Wrapped in a strategy game that rewards skillful play
![Page 11: What is the Gen i Revolution?? or facebook.com/genirevolution](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d755503460f94a55d8f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
MURKTIDE INVASION
The Murktide has taken over large areas and turned them red.
Our side’s areas are green. You get a turn to answer
five questions. Every correct answer gives
you one more agent (contact).
![Page 12: What is the Gen i Revolution?? or facebook.com/genirevolution](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d755503460f94a55d8f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
MURKTIDE INVASION
Deploy (“reinforce”) your agents in a green area bordering the red.
You want greater numbers. Now attack that red area! As the invasion continues,
you push back the Murktide to the ocean.
