Wondering which NGPF Arcade games got the most plays in 2022? Overall, the total number of game plays in the NGPF Arcade in 2022 exceeded 10 million, meaning students spent more than 1.3 million hours feeding cats (Cat Insanity), perfecting the art of influencing (Influenc'd) or attempting to "beat the market" (STAX). With reflection worksheets for each game, students will learn valuable lessons with each of the games.

STAX remained atop the list in 2022 with more than 2 million game plays. Money Magic vaulted to #2. NGPF's latest Arcade Game, Crypto Craze , released earlier this month is sure to be a hit in 2023.

Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
