An Economics Game for Your Teens

We are trying something new to help get the word out about local businesses, entrepreneurs and community leaders in the Pacific Northwest. We call it South Sound Connection (SSC) presented by The DYOJO and All American Restoration Services (AARES - Tacoma, WA). We aired Episode 001 live on Facebook and YouTube and plan to do these once a week.

South Sound Connection Episode 001

Our first guest was Korbett Mosesly (Tacoma, WA), joined Jon Isaacson (The DYOJO) and Bryan Close (AARES) to discuss the creation of his game Success Factors.

Mr. Mosesly designed this game to help parents teach their teenagers about economics. This idea flows from his experience working in both the non-profit and government sectors on a broad range of issues including adult education, housing, and workforce development. Korbett was inspired by the passing of Nipsey Hussle to finally his idea, that started with his MyPlan Workbook, into production.

The game board is professionally designed and the gameplay has been parent tested and teenager approved for both fun and education. This is the perfect gift for a family with young people in the home so that the family can spend some quality time while learning sound financial principles.

What is Success Factors?

​Success Factors is a two to six player game about investing in your community. You earn money as your token travels through the board, with the overall goal being to have the most philanthropic investments and wealth at the end of the game. There are lots of life-lessons to talk about: getting an education, exploring different careers, using good money management skills, and making healthy life-decisions. We also all know that things will happen along the way - both challenges and opportunities.

Success Factors Teaches:

• Small Business Economics
• Financial Literacy (i.e. Credit, Budgeting, Planning)
• Philanthropy & Goodwill
• Goal Setting & Career Planning
• Considering Risk and Unexpected Challenges

Where can you purchase Success Factors?
