Cryptid Kimber: Budget Beest

Client: Coolmath Games

Help social media influencer Kimber Wildebeest save enough money to buy a new camera and take the perfect picture of mysterious cryptids! Coolmath Games collaborated with FableVision Studios to create Cryptid Kimber: Budget Beest, a budgeting game for their financial literacy suite. Designed for middle and high school students, this game takes players on a four-week road trip with cryptozoologist Kimber in the hopes of spotting a wild cryptid. Along this journey, players must budget Kimber’s expenses to help her make the discovery of a lifetime!

Players begin by selecting the cryptid they most want to find and the camera they are going to save up for. After making these decisions, they create Kimber’s budget for the road trip. Kimber has a total of $400 per week to spend on her fixed and variable expenses. There are four events each week, where the player must make a choice between a good, medium, and bad financial decision. At the end of each week, players can adjust their variable expenses, view their weekly milestones, and view Kimber’s social media posts and comments from her followers. FableVision developed all of the content and a total of 30 weekly events to ensure players have a unique experience with each replay.
