Mogaland Behind the Scenes: How We Design Financial Games That Teach

Get an insider look into how Mogaland balances fun with real-world value in game design.

Creating a game that’s both fun and genuinely educational is no easy task. In this deep dive, we reveal how Mogaland’s designers, educators, and behavioral experts work together to build a world where every decision teaches you something about your real-life wallet.

🧱 Our Three-Part Design Philosophy

Start with behavior science
We base our systems on how real people make decisions, build habits, and respond to rewards.
Teach by doing
Instead of reading about budgeting, you budget in-game and experience the results.
Layer complexity gradually
New players start with simple mechanics. As they progress, the concepts deepen—just like a real skill tree.

🧪 How We Build Quests

Every level goes through:

Storyboarding financial goals
Mapping user actions to real concepts
Iterative testing with real players
Adding feedback loops (win/loss triggers)

🎨 The Role of Visual Design

We focus on:

Iconography that simplifies
Color-coding for urgency or risk
Progress meters to reinforce improvement

✅ The Result

Mogaland feels light and fun, but it’s built on heavy insights. It’s where gameplay and brain training meet.
