I have 0 complaints. The game could definitely use a little more detail on things. As in more jobs to choose from. Raised income for staying at a job for certain period of time things of this nature but all together very good game ### 5/5 — Really fun! Hoping for more features. *2021-12-12, version 1.2* This is a really fun simple start to this game. I love the focus on your budget and how to be intentional to build assets. I wish there were more ways to invest and loose. Currently you can’t really make any bad investments that you can’t fix quickly, if you could buy an apartment and the market value goes down that would be awesome. Or invest into a business to grow your income, maybe leave your day job that would be cool. And finally It feels like the only way to win quickly is to buy gold. ### 5/5 — So much fun! *2021-11-27, version 1.2* I love how there are different levels. It’s a fun (and time-consuming, but educational) game! ### 5/5 — Great game! *2021-07-01, version 1.1* Took a few minutes to get used to functionality but once I got going I was determined to reach my goal. Continue working the kinks but overall love the concept and will be playing more often now that I’ve found a game similar to the older version. ### 5/5 — Housing market changes *2021-06-17, version 1.1* I only with the housing market would chang with the differences in the gold price. So you are looking at two graphs, making it more realistic ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — no tan buena *2022-07-12, version 1.2* Tiene Unos gráficos demasiado sencillos. Y no hay muchas opciones. Además las que hay son poco realistas. Me ha decepcionado totalmente. ### 1/5 — Found bug but no way to report. *2021-05-09, version 1.1* I’m playing Month race and my cash flow is positive, but the balance keep reducing every month. Apparently a bug in the program but no way to feedback the bug. Should have something like “contact us” or “report bug” in the app. ### 2/5 — Can’t get in *2023-01-04, version 1.2* I can’t get past the first screen I’m on a iPad ### 2/5 — Not bad *2021-11-06, version 1.2* Wish there was more stuff to do and you could set rental rates , or purchase x100 properties at once but it was good otherwise. ### 3/5 — Rat Race Review *2021-12-30, version 1.2* Good Game but needs improvement. All of the real estate deals would produce negative cash flow if loans were used. No real incentive to buy them unless you purchase entire property which defeats the purpose of leverage. ### 3/5 — Great Concept/Flawed Execution *2021-11-30, version 1.2* Great game for learning the basic concepts of personal finance/cash flow but needs some fine tuning. 1. Gold is the only worthwhile investment in the entire game. 2. Real estate loans are limited to 10yrs (where 30yr is the industry standard) meaning NONE of the deals cash flow. Maybe a decent place to park your cash later for a 4-6% cap property, but not a feasible way to build passive income. 3. Mutual Funds do not function as advertised. The description alleges that the deposited amount is compounded monthly at (-3-10%), but in reality that is at best an annual NOT monthly percentage rate. As advertised would be a ~50% APR, reality is more like 4-7% APR. Fixed Deposit is even worse. Don’t bother. 3. “Unexpected expenses” occur almost every month. Talk about a budget drain! You have to maintain an emergency fund of 1-1.5K and a min positive cash flow of ~$300/mo just to stay solvent! A more realistic occurrence would be $500-$1000 2-3x per year. 4-6x per year. 4. All debt carries a 10% APR. In what world do student loans, credit cards, and car loans all carry the same APR?! Especially the student loans, that’s just brutal. Also, if you are going to require players to pay off personal loans, they should have the option to TAKE OUT personal loans. Would be amazing if interest rates fluctuated like gold and you could ReFi for a better rate. TL;DR. Gold is the only worthwhile investment. But maybe that’s what this game wants you to conclude? Kiyosaki is a shameless gold bug after all. Enjoyed the game overall!!! Would love to see some improvements! ### 4/5 — Great for basic fundamentals! *2024-07-23, version 1.2* This actually is pretty quick to catch on at! I enjoy it! To realize how personal debt can affect cash flow for your future is put accurately ### 4/5 — Fun practice *2022-07-30, version 1.2* I have played through this a few times and I really like this game. it’s hard to tell what the return on an investment will be, it seems to be set at 4% for most things. There is no way to adjust the interest on debts in the options so I can’t make it any harder. ### 5/5 — Fun yet intelligent *2025-08-14, version 1.2* Deserves 5 stars ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-01-23, version 1.2* Teaches you well about assets and liabilities ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Learning how to get out the rate race *2025-01-13, version 1.2* Great game love playing it ### 5/5 — Very fun *2024-05-19, version 1.2* Nice and simple and the different difficulties are very diverse ### 5/5 — Day to day life on the fast lane *2024-05-13* Great game to play ### 5/5 — Excellent Way To Improve Financial IQ *2024-02-15, version 1.2* Definitely recommend ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-09-26, version 1.2* Great game ### 5/5 — Fun *2023-01-10, version 1.2* Not only is this game fun it inspired me to invest ### 5/5 — awesome app *2022-10-19, version 1.2* made so much money i broke the game💪📈 ### 5/5 — Great *2022-10-02, version 1.2* Great money game that all kids should be playing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
