Online Personal Finance Game from the Council on Economic Education: http://www.genirevolution.org/index.php

Set up in a popular game format, students work their way through challenges answering key questions to earn points to advance through the game. If you've been to the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. you'll be familiar with the "cloak and dagger" feel of the mission briefings, information gathering, and operative training incorporated in the game.
