Housing & Wealth Game
Keys to Wealth™: Rent It or Own It
Rent an apartment, buy a home, or try both. Make the real decisions, dodge the traps,
and see how your choices add up over 30 years.
Tips for teachers
- Starter (ages 14–18) shows hints and walks through the math. Real World hides hints and scores the math questions.
- Try the same character in a low-cost and a high-cost city, then compare the results charts.
- Tap any underlined term for a plain-English definition.
- A full game with both paths takes about 15–20 minutes.
