Description
STEP 13 of Run the Numbers Before You Sign (Teen and Adult Money), the finale, after Step 12 (Home Loan Stress Test). Also in the series bundle. A self-checking review escape room for Grades 9-12, adults and homeschool. A made-up person, Kai, checks two loan offers; 4 doors are locked. Slips such as using take-home pay for debt-to-income land on wrong letters. 28 cards, 20 scored. WHAT IT TEACHES Fees and fine print (signing and monthly fees, total paid, cost of borrowing), a review of budget shares, APR, debt-to-income, card minimums, avalanche and loan payments (interest vs principal), and a Plan B on one offer (rate +2 percentage points, income -30%, 6 months without pay). Ends with a personal Plan B card. HOW IT WORKS - Each room opens with a learn card. 16 clue cards (type or tap), 4 door codes. - Boom scores every answer at once; two tap-to-show hints per question. For general education only. Not financial, legal or tax advice. All people, lenders, prices and rates are made up. Rules, rates and costs differ by country and change over time. For decisions about your own money, speak to a licensed professional. ACCURACY Answers checked by our own software and by AI test solves from the cards alone. Not tested with a class. No process is perfect; if you spot an error, please tell us through the store's feedback. HOW IT WAS MADE Text written with AI assistance and fact-checked. All images are drawn in code; no AI image generators were used. No sound.
