Hi all,

I recently started working on an educational game that informs the player about some of the important concepts about bitcoin and am looking for some feedback.

The target player is not an engineer or an economist, but a person on the street that still believes fiat is good and that we are fine with money controlled by the state.

The game is designed as a series of conversations between two people, one asks questions and the other responds. The responses almost always include a mini game where the player solves a simple task to understand the concept.

For example, the first game is a simple "scratch the screen" game to reveal the bitcoin emission schedule.

Here's a list topics for which I am currently developing mini games:

  • Inflation hedge. Digital Gold.
  • How to pay using Bitcoin. No need for Credit Cards or banks.
  • How payments work - mining intro.
  • Double spending is almost impossible.
  • Censorship resistance.
  • Fleeing a war zone with bitcoin.
  • Keeping it safe. Secret sharing.
  • Purity of bitcoin vis a vis gold purity tests.
  • Address the fear of losing coins.
  • Anonymity and privacy.
  • No banks or state or single miner or developer regulates Bitcoin. Essentially, "no one" regulates Bitcoin.

Would love to get any input on the list if topics. Is there something I am missing as the first introduction to someone new to bitcoin? Is there something I should take out?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.


That is very interesting and so good to hear that an educational game that embodies the learning about Bitcoin is being developed. That will really be a great game to play with specially for those who wanted to know more about Bitcoin because it sound like a simulated conversation, it will looks like Sims City because of the conversation. It is so nice that you put a twist of games in between the conversation so that players won't be bored of plain information since it is intended to educate people. Looking forward once that game of yours have been fully developed because it will be a great way to promote Bitcoin.
