FAQ

Here are some of the most commonly asked questions and answers. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any other questions!

Yes! We built the game to provide a very high level understanding of financial literacy to children at around a 5th grade reading level. But we will say, it won't feel like you are learning.

Backed by knowledge from Certified Financial Planners, we have redeveloped the process of teaching such a difficult subject by embedding financial principles into the mechanics and gameplay of Berryville. By doing this, players will learn by repetition, positive reinforcement, and the ability to fail but get up and try again.

About the Book

The Four Money Bears teach kids the four basic functions of money. Join Spender Bear, Saver Bear, Investor Bear, and Giver Bear as they teach us ways to use money. When they work together they learn to build a Budget and Teach each other how to better manage their money today and for the future.

Financial literacy starts at home. But for many parents of young children that can be a challenge. Our children need to be taught how to manage money from an early age. However, financial literacy programs are few and far to be found in elementary schools or middle schools.

Children need to be taught the four basic functions of money: Spend, Save, Invest, and Give. That is why I wrote “The Four Money Bears”. Each bear represents a function of money and shows how money works to help us accomplish our goals. The book, however, is just the start.
