What is The Frugality Game?

It’s a free, online adventure that helps families improve their finances while having fun.

In this “adventure that will change your life,” users explore the world with the fictitious Frugal family while gaining valuable tools, resources and learning. As players track spending and create budgets, they unlock savings, as well as additional games and storyline.

Users can play, save and win (prizes up to $50,000), as they learn to be smart, spend right and live well.

How is David J.  Garcia involved?

I’m involved in all of it. Technically, I’m in charge of social media, but I’ve also helped with the design, script, user experience, promotion and business development. This is the dream job I never even knew that I was dreaming of. I love it.

How big is it?

This is going to be huge. There are prizes (including $50,000 and a new car). We’ve already got 10,000 fans on Facebook, before we even launched.

How do I play?

Starting today, you can go to http://www.TheFrugalityGame.com/ to preview the game and “create your passport.” Then, come back every day to unlock more gameplay and savings. If you use invitation code DJGPR when you register, you’ll get a bonus 2,500 Frugality Tokens (which help you win prizes). Go play, have fun and good luck!
