NEW DELHI, INDIA: Experian, a provider in IT, analytical and marketing services today announced the launch of a 3D game called Credibility.

It is aimed at children and young adults and provides a unique and engaging way for them to learn about managing their finances, said a press release.

It gives a view of different financial scenarios that include budgeting and managing money, renting or buying a property, avoiding identity fraud, and applying for and managing credit. (http://www.experian.co.uk/creditability/)

Creditability allows players to engage with a range of online characters and to learn in an interactive 3D environment.

Tony Winfield, head of ICT, Chilwell School in Nottingham, comments: "We've had a group of Year-10 students using the game and their response has been absolutely great. Creditability engages the children in an innovative, interesting and fun way, helping them to learn about managing their own finances - which has often been seen as a dry subject."

It has been developed and tested in secondary schools across the country and comes with teacher notes and lesson plans, said the press release.

James Jones, consumer education manager at Experian, said, "As financial decisions become ever more crucial and complex, it's essential we equip our youngsters with the skills and knowledge they will need to manage money and credit successfully."
