“Grow wealth across every generation, dawn to dusk.”
The Pitch
Harvest Ledger is a multigenerational financial wellness game where players aged 5 to 85 tend a living family farm that mirrors real-world wealth-building habits, from grandparents teaching grandchildren to budget seed money by candlelight to young adults unlocking solar-powered tech investments and electric vehicle asset tiles. Each family member syncs a personalized wellness profile tied to daily micro-habits — morning mindfulness streaks unlock compound interest boosts, while farmer-style crop cycles teach patience-based portfolio growth across stocks, land, and sustainable transport assets. The game runs on a gentle day-night rhythm, rewarding consistent small actions like evening ledger check-ins and sunrise savings deposits with harvest multipliers that accumulate across generations within a shared family vault. Harvest Ledger bridges financial literacy and emotional wellbeing by making wealth-building feel as calm and cyclical as tending a garden, ensuring every player from infant to elder has a role in growing the family's financial legacy.
For Whom
Harvest Ledger targets multigenerational households — from tech-curious grandparents and young parents to teen gamers and mindful millennials — who want a calm, ritual-driven daily practice for building family wealth together across seasons of life.
