Resumo(s)

Financial literacy is critical for economic empowerment, yet access to effective financial education remains uneven. Serious games provide an interactive and accessible approach to financial education, fostering decision-making and cognitive development through im mersive gameplay. In this demonstration, we present DreamScape, a narrative-driven serious game designed to teach financial literacy through interactive storytelling and puzzle-based mini-games. By leveraging narrative immersion and problem-solving mechanics, this online demo illustrates how interactive systems and creative design can foster economic empowerment, contributing to a more financially literate and equitable society.
