I Am Building a Gentler Way to Learn Finance Through Play

I have always believed that learning works best when it feels natural, even a little playful.
But when it comes to finance, trading, or crypto, most people stop before they begin. The content feels complicated. The language feels distant. The motivation fades.

I do not think that means people are not capable. I think the way finance is presented often gets in the way of how people actually learn.

That thought led me to start building Trendline Gala
, a place where finance education feels more like exploration than instruction.

Each quiz acts like a mini game. You make choices, see instant feedback, and begin to understand how money and markets move by doing, not memorizing.

I am slowly creating quizzes for every corner of finance, from personal money habits to trading concepts and crypto fundamentals. My goal is to make learning these topics feel approachable and maybe even a little enjoyable.

Games reward curiosity, show progress, and make you want to keep going. I wanted to bring that same feeling to financial education.

Each quiz gives quick feedback and visible progress, helping you see how your instincts improve over time. You start to feel more confident, not because someone taught you, but because you discovered it yourself.

I am still early in the journey, learning as I build, but I care deeply about the idea of making financial understanding feel human and kind.

If you have a moment, I would love for you to take a look and tell me what you think.
Your feedback would mean a lot.

    Looks like a great idea! I love finance and economics and I think everyone should receive this education since elementary school. I hope you manage to make this a successful product!

    Now a bit of feedback. I took a quiz and I scrolled through the rest. Is there any "learning path" for users? Does it ever get deeper in the knowledge you can get from this gamified version? Can users store their scores and achievements? If it is a game, I would expect people get competitive and want to see when they finish the games with more point than others.
    About the name, I would never guess something called Trending Gala would be a quiz game to learn finances.

    Great work, thanks for sharing!

      Much appreciate the feedback!

      I absolutely intend on creating the learning journey for the user for each quiz they go through and storing scores, but I've prioritized creating the content for them to journey to.

      I do have some experience with leaderboards and that would definitely be an implementation later after the user journey and point collection start taking place.

      Right now I'm still working on how I want the quizzes to be experienced for the best appeal, and then making those changes across every quiz.

      Right now it only stores completed quizzes with a "Complete" tag, the score, and a badge on a quiz if they score it 100%.

      Also, Trendline Gala is the name I chose, I'll be inputting trendlines for people's scores in lightweightcharts so they can see their progress.

      It's definitely a work in progress though, again much appreciate the feedback!

    The playful approach to finance education is refreshing. Most resources assume prior knowledge and use jargon that pushes beginners away. Turning concepts into mini-games with instant feedback could work really well. Financial literacy is such an important skill that too few people develop.

      Exactly what I'm looking to do to!

      I appreciate the thoughtful reply!
