Can you help Issy save up for Show Day?
It's Issy's birthday, and Nanna has given her $20. But Show Day is on Saturday, and there are rides to ride, games to play, and food to eat. Will Issy save enough to make it the best day ever? That's up to you.
Big Plans is an interactive visual novel that teaches kids real money skills through a week of choices, challenges, and adventures in the fictional Tasmanian town of Bluegum Bay.
SEVEN DAYS OF ACTIVITIES
Follow Issy from Sunday to Saturday as she learns to save, earn, and spend wisely. Every day brings new characters to meet, decisions to make, and lessons to discover, all building toward the big day at the showgrounds.
REAL MONEY SKILLS, REAL FUN
Kids learn by doing. Big Plans weaves financial literacy into every story beat:
- Recognising Australian coins and notes
- Telling the difference between wants and needs
- Earning money through hard work
- Comparing prices and finding value
- Starting a small business
- Planning a budget with envelopes
- Making change at the shops
11 INTERACTIVE MINIGAMES
From washing a car to making bracelets for the market, hands-on activities bring every lesson to life. Sort money, count coins, pull weeds in the garden, and more.
YOUR CHOICES SHAPE THE STORY
Every decision matters. Choose how Issy saves her money, what work she takes on, and how she spends at the shops. There are no wrong answers, only different adventures.
