## What is SimAdult?

What does it actually take to build a life as a young adult?

SimAdult is an interactive life simulation game that puts you in the middle of the competing pressures of young adulthood. The name stands for "simulating adulthood": navigating money, time, energy, relationships, and real-world trade-offs. Each player begins with a randomly assigned character, a different life story, and a unique starting point across career, education, health, social life, romantic life, and spirituality or community.

Then the choices begin.

Over five rounds, you decide where to invest your limited resources. Advance your career. Continue your education. Strengthen your health. Build relationships and community. But every choice requires something in return.

Money is limited.
Time is limited.
Emotional energy is limited.

And life rarely goes according to plan.

Each round also introduces unexpected Wild Cards that can change your circumstances. A promotion might improve your finances while increasing stress. Illness can derail your plans. A financial windfall can give you breathing room. A friend in crisis may need time and energy you had planned to spend somewhere else.

HOW TO PLAY
- Choose Single Device (pass-and-play) or Host/Join multiplayer
- Unlock your character and starting resources
- Each round: gather income, encounter a Wild Card, invest in life areas (career, education, health, social, romantic, spirituality), then view the leaderboard
- After five rounds, see your final rankings and Life Insights

MODES
- Single Device: pass one phone between players
- Multiplayer: host a lobby with an invite code, and friends join from their own devices

Play with 1–5 people and compare the lives you build at the end. There is no single correct path and no perfect definition of success.

WHAT YOU'LL PRACTICE
- Managing finances, time, and energy
- Making strategic decisions within constraints
- Adapting to unexpected life events
- Discussing outcomes with your group

SimAdult is designed to spark conversation about the realities of early adulthood, including:
- Career and work
- Education and student debt
- Physical and emotional health
- Friendships and social connection
- Dating and relationships
- Spirituality and community
- Financial pressure
- Time, stress, and competing priorities

The goal is not to "win." It is to discover what happens when the life you want meets the resources, circumstances, opportunities, and surprises you actually have.

WHO IT'S FOR
