Early Reactions to The Game

What People Are Saying.

Feedback from educators, parents, and early testers who experienced the concept.

Family Playtester
"Our family participated in early playtesting sessions for 8 weeks. What started as helping a game developer turned into genuine family bonding time. My kids (ages 12 and 14) began asking to play even when it wasn't scheduled testing time. The most surprising moment was when my daughter referenced a Fate Card about Garrett Morgan during a real conversation about entrepreneurship. The game was evolving each week based on feedback, and seeing our suggestions incorporated made us feel truly invested in the final product."
-Patricia Johnson,
Playtester Parent

Educator Focus Group Member
"As part of the educator focus group, I tested Black Blocks with my 8th-grade classes over several months. The engagement levels were unlike anything I'd seen with traditional financial literacy curricula. Students who usually struggled with math concepts were suddenly calculating percentages and compound interest to win the game. The historical components sparked research projects that went far beyond the classroom. I provided extensive feedback on making the content age-appropriate, and the development team was incredibly responsive.".

-Mr. David McMillan,
8th Grade Math Teacher,
Early Tester

Community Center Trial Run:
"We ran Black Blocks through our teen programming for 6 weeks during development. What impressed me most was watching shy kids become vocal advocates for their financial strategies. The game created natural mentoring opportunities between older and younger teens. One breakthrough moment was when a 13-year-old explained the concept of building credit to a 16-year-old using language from the game. The developers observed several sessions and made real-time adjustments based on how our kids played."

-Jasmine Roberts, Youth Coordinator, Beta Testing Site.

Beta Tester (Teen Player)
I was part of the beta testing group for Black Blocks, and honestly, I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. At first, I thought it would be boring like other 'educational' games, but the financial decisions actually got competitive between my friends and me. Learning about people like Madam C.J. Walker while trying to build wealth was pretty cool. My favorite part was when the Fate Cards connected to the Life Card situations - like learning about Black Wall Street while making investment choices. The final version is even better than what we tested!”

-Kiana, Age 15,
Chicago Beta Tester.

HBCU Student Ambassador:
"I was selected as a student
ambassador to test Black Blocks
at Howard University.
We ran sessions with
different student groups -
from freshmen
to graduate students.
Even college-age players found value in the financial planning aspects,
while the historical content sparked debates about economic empowerment in our community.
The game mechanics were refined based on our feedback sessions.
Seeing a product develop from rough prototype to polished game while having our voices heard was incredibly empowering."

Malik Washington, Howard University Student, Early Tester

Parent-Child Testing Team:
"My son and I were recruited
as a parent-child testing duo.
Over 3 months, we played and provided weekly
feedback calls.
The most rewarding part was watching my son's
confidence with money
decisions grow with each version.
He went from making impulsive choices to asking thoughtful questions about risk
and reward. The historical
elements led to deeper conversations about our family's financial goals and
what we didn’t know about black history.
Being part of the development

process made the final game feel personal to us."

Jerry Carmichael & son Monty (age 13), Alpha Testing Team
