SPENT -- an interactive online "game" demonstrating the challenge of living on a very low income

This online "game" puts players in the position of meeting their basic needs on a very limited budget.  Players are faced with real life dilemmas that are all too common, such asbeing forced to choose between buying food and paying a utility bill.  

This game was developed for the Urban Ministries of Durham, which sought to challenge the way people think about poverty and homelessness. Click the "Go to Website" link below to access SPENT from UMD's website.
