About Money Quest
What is financial education, and why does it matter?
Financial education means learning how money works: earning, spending, saving, and making choices with limited resources. Children who learn these ideas early tend to grow into adults who feel more confident and less anxious about money - not because they've memorised facts, but because they've had low-stakes practice making decisions.
What will my child learn on Money Quest?
Seven topic areas, each its own "World": the basics of what money is, telling needs apart from wants, saving toward a goal, currencies from other countries, spotting scams safely, planning ahead, and giving. Each World has a short lesson, a game or two, and simple real-life scenarios - never a test with a score that follows your child around.
How does Money Quest actually work?
Your child picks a World, reads a short illustrated lesson, tries a quick multiple-choice check, and plays a related game. They earn virtual coins and stars along the way - clearly labelled as virtual, never real money. There's no account to create and nothing to sign in to: progress is saved only in this browser, on this device.
What age range is this for?
Money Quest is built for children roughly 6 to 14. Content adapts in complexity across three bands - Explorer for younger children, Builder for the middle years, Strategist for older children - so the same topic (like saving) is explained differently depending on the age your child selects.
How can I use Money Quest with my child?
It works well either alongside your child for the first few lessons, or as something they explore independently once they're comfortable with it. After a lesson, a good follow-up is simply asking "what did you learn?" - the lessons are short enough that they'll usually remember the specific example, not just a vague topic.
How can I talk to my child about money at home?
A few starting points: ask what they'd do with a fixed amount of money before telling them what you'd do. When shopping together, ask "do we need this, or do we want it?" out loud, so the distinction becomes a habit rather than a rule. If they want something expensive, work out together how many weeks of saving it would take - a concrete number tends to land better than "maybe later". None of this requires sharing your own finances with them - the conversation matters more than the specifics.
Privacy and Your Data
What does this website do?
Money Quest teaches children financial literacy through lessons, quizzes, and games - needs vs. wants, saving, spending, budgeting, earning, staying safe from scams, and more. All money in the app is fictional.
What information does it collect?
None that identifies your child. The only thing the site asks for is a learning level (Early Learner, Primary, or Older Learner) so lessons are written at the right reading level - and that choice is never sent anywhere; it's saved only in this browser.
What information does it NOT collect?
A name, age, date of birth, address, school, email, phone number, or location - from your child, ever. There is no field anywhere in the app for a child to type any of these in.
Do you need to create an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no login, and no password anywhere in this app. Open the website and start learning.
Is any of my child's personal information stored?
No. The website is designed to minimise personal data collection - there is nowhere in the current design for a child's personal information to be stored, because it is never collected in the first place.
Is my child's progress stored anywhere?
Only on the device your child is using, in the browser's own local storage - never on our servers, never sent to us. Clearing that device's browser data, or using the "Reset Progress" option in the app, removes it completely. Progress made on one device won't appear on another.
Are third-party services used?
No external service receives any information about your child. See our Privacy Policy for the complete, current list of what (if anything) the site depends on.
How can I contact you?
Via the Contact page.
How can I request deletion of information?
For anything stored only on your child's device (their progress), use the "Reset Progress" option in the app, or clear that browser's site data directly - both are immediate and complete, and don't require contacting us at all. If you believe any other information has been retained, contact us via the page above and we will look into it.
This page is designed to minimise personal data collection, and describes the site honestly rather than making broader legal claims - see our Privacy Policy for the full picture, including its own limits.
