LedgerQuest
Make real money decisions in a risk-free sim — a personal-finance decision game for ages 15–18. Budget, weigh trade-offs, borrow, save, and plan a goal; watch consequences play out, then reflect — compound growth, opportunity cost, risk, taxes, and inflation. On-device.

How LedgerQuest handles your kid's data
- ✅ All progress, settings, and AI-generated content stays on the device
- ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
- ✅ Free — no ads, no in-app purchases
- ✅ No personal information collected from children — in line with COPPA (updated by the 2026 FTC amendments)
- ✅ No chat with strangers — play-together rooms use a short code and preset emotes, never typed messages
For you, the grown-up
Spark & Whetstone, our free site for grown-ups, tells what LedgerQuest teaches in a short course of its own.
LedgerQuest runs on ForgeKit — the open-source Swift Package Manager framework that powers every Spark & Anvil app. ForgeKit ensures consistent accessibility, COPPA compliance, and design language across the portfolio, so your kid's progress and preferences feel coherent across every app they touch.
