ESCAPE THE RAT RACE Grind & Dream is a finance game played on a board. Pick a career, roll the dice, and turn a paycheck into passive income until your money pays for your life. It is an investing game about real trade-offs, not luck alone. PICK YOUR PAYCHECK Eight careers, each with a different salary, expenses, debt and starting cash. A big salary can come with big debt; a smaller one can leave more room to save. BUY ASSETS. GET PAID. Buy index funds, stocks, rental real estate and small businesses. Every deal shows what it changes before you buy: your cash, your monthly payday and your progress toward financial freedom. SURVIVE THE CRASH Stock market crashes, surprise bills, career moves and lifestyle creep test your plan. Keep an emergency fund, manage your debt, and decide when to hold on. WATCH YOUR FREEDOM GROW Your FI meter fills as your investments and passive income cover more of your expenses. Reach 100% to escape the rat race and win the run. PLAY AGAIN, PLAY DIFFERENT Every career plays differently. Try a careful saver, a bold investor or a real estate builder, and see how fast each one reaches financial independence. • No account needed • In English, Spanish, French and Portuguese • Made for iPhone and iPad Grind & Dream does not ask for or store your personal financial information. Grind & Dream is a money simulator for entertainment, not financial advice. Results in the game do not predict real-world investment returns.
