DealStreet: The Game
DealStreet: Doesn't it look exciting?
DealStreet, Intuitive Learning's first product, is an innovative Financial Literacy Board Game, which simultaneously incorporates Learning Elements, Fun Features and Dynamic Real-life Scenarios.
The Learning Elements help people understand the basic mechanics of financial instruments. By trading shares, taking loans, managing interest payments and buying gold to hedge against inflation, people understand how each of these instruments work.
DealStreet creates a framework of a dynamic environment of fluctuating stock markets and volatile interest rates. These range from past scenarios such as the Credit Crunch or the Dot Com Bubble-Bust to potential future scenarios such as Rebuild and Recover (2008-2018). During these scenarios, players would have to make decisions in environments with dramatic movements in stock prices, interest rates and inflation.
Fun Features in the game include negotiating deals, auctioning resources, fighting pirates, gambling at Las Vegas and many other innovative features.
All in All, DealStreet is a high-adrenalin, fully-exciting game where from the first turn, you have people jumping out of their seats. For more details click here and to know where you can buy copy of DealStreet click here.

DealStreet: The History
Students at IIM Bangalore playing DealStreet
We first started work on a board game back in October 2009 with the idea of helping people learn about finance intuitively. The first prototype was ready in Jan-2010, 2 weeks before we were looking to soft-launch it in Vista at IIM Bangalore. In our very first testing session, we realized that although DealStreet was engrossing, it was too complicated and took 5 hours to finish. Over the next 2 weeks, we tweaked, tested and simplified the game like crazy to get it ready for IIM Bangalore.
We got excellent feedback both at IIM Bangalore and IIT Kanpur in Jan-Feb 2010. Since then we spent more than 6 months fine-tuning the game for commercial launch. DealStreet is today a popular game at the Board Game Bash group in Mumbai and is also being used in financial literacy programs in 3 schools in Delhi.
