How to Play – SET UP
To play either game, the host goes to https://veritasfcu.cashygame.com (on a PC or smart TV) and logs in to get to their dashboard. Next, the host clicks “Start a game” and waits for players to join. (If the host has not pre-registered, they will click the “Play now” button and will need to register, confirm the email address from their email account, and then log in. The host will log in with their registered email address and password.)
Players then join the game on their favorite device by going to https://veritasfcu.cashygame.com on their browser or scanning the QR code on the host’s screen. The QR code will take a player directly to the host’s game and the player will need to log in. If the player uses the URL, they will need to log in and click the “Play now” button where they can enter the 6-digit code (from the hosts’ screen) at the prompt. Players can join the game even in the middle of the game by joining with the 6-digit code shown at the bottom of the host’s screen.
How to Play – PLAYERS
Players and the host are now in the game. Each “year” lasts 5 minutes.
- All players start with $2000 and 80% happiness.
- Players will be asked to choose a random job, select expenses, and invest.
- When the player has made the choices in these three categories, they flip the button to “Yes” to complete the round.
- When all players have completed the set-up round called “Year 1,” the host will click the button on the screen that says “End the year now.”
- As the host clicks “Next,” players will see corresponding screens on their devices which will summarize their own happiness score, their savings, their investment news, and their current placement in the game.
- The host clicks “Start a new year.” Players will now notice 5 icons on the bottom of their device: Overview, Income, Expenses, Assets, and Players. “Overview” takes the player to the home screen where there are 3 steps for the player to complete. “Income,” “Expenses,” and “Assets” will direct players to corresponding screens. “Players” is a list of the players on the top of the Veritas Leaderboard.
- After the three steps are completed, the player will return to “Overview” and flip the button to “Yes” to end their round.
- Return to step 4 and repeat until all “Years” are completed.
