The subject
school forgets
Budgets, saving, interest, and why the shiny thing costs more than the label says. Practised while the numbers are small enough not to matter.
Planned Not playable yet. Listed so you can see where Zupelo is going, because an empty room is worse than an honest label.
You save £3 a week. The game costs £40. How long?
£3 per week
Divide, then think about whether you can spend part of a week.
A sample, not a live game. Pelo hints and cheers — he never chats.
Five stages, three to eighteen
Not five difficulty settings. Each stage changes the reading level, the length of a round, how quickly Pelo offers a hint, and what the whole thing looks like.
Three decisions worth explaining
Practised while it is safe
Every mistake in this academy costs pretend money. Every one of them costs real money later.
Advertising is on the syllabus
Children are the most advertised-to people alive. Spotting the technique is part of the subject, not a warning at the end.
No real currency anywhere
Shells cannot be bought and cannot be converted. Nothing in Zupelo teaches a child that money makes a game easier.
What a child actually does
We did not build five hundred unrelated games. We built fifteen game types any subject can fill, which is why the twelfth academy costs a fraction of the first.
Pocket money sim
A week, a budget, and three things you want.
The big purchase
Save for it, or buy the cheap one now.
Interest machine
Watch a small number become a large one.
Spot the pitch
What is this advert actually promising?
Most apps adapt the difficulty. Zupelo adapts everything else too.
The pitch of a question is the easy part. What changes underneath is which skill comes next, how it is explained, when a hint arrives, how long a session runs, and what a wrong answer is taken to mean.
Money sense shares that engine with the other eleven. A day spent on money sense keeps the same streak as a day spent anywhere else, because losing interest in one subject should never cost a child the habit.
How the engine picks🐚 One currency
Shells, earned for finishing and for coming back — never for being right. They cannot be bought and cannot be converted.
🔥 One streak
Any academy keeps it going. Miss a day and a streak save covers it, on every plan including free.
🔒 No leaderboard
There is no global ranking and no public profile. Comparison is with your own last week, or with friends a grown-up approved.
Every child learns differently.
