The growing public debt in developed countries is a real threat for future prosperity. The tension grows with the ageing population and in many countries unpopular measures are necessary to balance the budgets. To implement such measures it is of crucial importance that the public understands what are the threats and alternative solutions. To get these messages to the public in a funny and popular way, we have created a simple educational computer game for managing the public debt. The game is based on real long-term forecasts for the public debt in Slovakia and around 200 measures for public finance consolidation. The player chooses the measures every quarter and sees how they help to tame the public debt. The goal of the game is to have the lowest public debt possible by 2062.
