Start It Up!
Helped oversee the production of a complex, simulation-heavy game while ensuring it was as accurate and error-free as possible.
Start It Up! is a web-based educational game that empowers teens and adults to start their own businesses by simulating the startup experience. FableVision Studios collaborated with Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) and the Georgia Council on Economic Education (GCEE) to ensure that every step of the business creation process – including goal-setting, fundraising, day-to-day expenses, and unexpected events – was simulated in a realistic manner. The result is a detailed but accessible simulation game that serves as an excellent primer for the aspiring entrepreneur.
