How it works

Learning money feels
like playing a game

Because it is one. Every mechanic in CoinCity teaches a real financial concept — without your child knowing they're being educated.

01
🏗️

Build Your City

Kids earn coins and spend them on buildings that generate daily income — teaching the core concept of investing: put money in now, earn more later.

02
🐷

Split Into Jars

Every coin gets sorted into Spend, Save, or Give jars. Kids see their savings grow with 5% weekly interest — making compound growth tangible and fun.

03
🦉

Make Real Choices

Professor Hoot presents real investment dilemmas. Kids choose, face consequences, and learn — diversification, risk, delayed gratification — through experience, not lectures.

Features

Every feature teaches
a money skill

🏙️

Pixel City Builder

Kids place buildings that earn daily income — a hands-on model of passive income and return on investment. The more they build, the more they earn.

Teaches: investing & ROI
🐷

Three Savings Jars

Spend, Save, and Give jars with visual fill bars. The Save jar earns 5% weekly interest, making compound growth something kids can actually see.

Teaches: budgeting & saving
🦉

Professor Hoot's Advisor

Real-world investment events: market crashes, gold rushes, inflation, peer pressure. Kids choose, face real consequences, and get a debrief from the wise owl.

Teaches: risk & decision-making
🎮

Lemonade Stand & Good Choices

Run a 5-day lemonade stand — set prices, buy supplies, survive unpredictable weather — then face five real-life money dilemmas: find cash, lend to a friend, resist an impulse buy. One game teaches supply & demand and profit vs revenue; the other teaches values and delayed gratification.

Teaches: profit, values & choices
📊

Parent Dashboard

Weekly stats, decision history, badges earned, and a chore approval queue with the allowance you owe — plus a daily screen time limit (30 min to 2 hours) with a gentle countdown. Professor Hoot sends kids off with a kind message when time's up, never a scolding. You're always in control.

For parents
⭐

Daily Challenges

Three fresh challenges every day — collect income, feed the piggy, play a game. Kids earn bonus coins and build the daily habit of thinking about money.

Teaches: habit formation
🏆

League Leaderboard

Bronze, Silver, and Gold leagues based on city income — kids only compete with others at their level. First names and avatars only. No real names or wealth rankings combined.

Teaches: healthy competition
🕵️

Scam School

Unannounced scam pop-ups — a stranger (never Professor Hoot) pitches a fake deal mid-play, no warning. Decline it and earn a badge; fall for it and get a gentle debrief on the tell. Parents see it too: "Spotted 4 scams this month and didn't fall for any!"

Teaches: spotting scams
🧹

Chores & Allowance

Replace the chore chart on the fridge. Set chores worth coins — and real money if you like. Your kid taps "I did it!", you approve with one tap, and CoinCity tracks the allowance you owe until you settle up in cash. No bank account, no payment data — just the family tally.

Teaches: money is earned

Safety & Trust

Built with parents
and regulators in mind

We take children's privacy seriously. Every feature was designed with COPPA compliance and parental control at its core.

🛡️

COPPA Compliant

No child creates an account directly. All profiles are created by parents who must read and consent to our data policy before any child data is stored.

🚫

Zero Ads — Ever

No advertisements, no sponsored content, no behavioural tracking. CoinCity will never show your child an ad. Full stop.

🔒

Parent-Controlled

Parents set a 4-digit PIN to access the dashboard. Set a daily screen time limit (30 min – 2 hours), view all activity, manage profiles, and delete all data at any time.

🌐

kidSAFE Certified
(In Progress)

We have applied for kidSAFE certification — the gold standard for children's apps. Certification is in progress and expected soon.

FAQ

Questions from parents

CoinCity is designed for children ages 5 and up. The core city builder and savings jars are accessible for younger kids (5–6), while the investment advisor events and mini-games are best enjoyed by ages 7+. A parent account is always required.
Yes! Your subscription includes up to 4 child profiles under one parent account. Each child has their own city, savings jars, and progress — completely separate.
Absolutely. CoinCity is COPPA compliant — children never create accounts directly. Parents consent to all data collection. We collect only what's needed (name, age, game progress), never location or behavioural data, and we never show ads. You can delete all data at any time from the Parent Dashboard.
No — kids can play independently. The game is designed to be safe, ad-free, and self-contained. The Parent Dashboard is protected by a 4-digit PIN so children can't access it. We do encourage parents to use the "Conversation Starters" feature to discuss the week's lessons together.
After your free trial, CoinCity is $5.99/month, or $29.99/year (save 58%) if you subscribe annually — billed through your App Store or Google Play account. You can cancel anytime through your device's subscription settings — no hoops to jump through. If you cancel, your child's data is preserved for 30 days in case you want to come back.
Yes — from the Parent Dashboard you can set a daily screen time limit between 30 minutes and 2 hours. When your child is getting close, a gentle countdown appears on screen. When time's up, Professor Hoot sends them off with an encouraging message and the app stops until the next day. The default is 1 hour.
Every day, three new challenges appear in the app — one from each category: Building (place something, collect income), Saving (add to a jar, balance the three jars), and Gaming/Learning (play a mini-game, visit the advisor). Completing challenges earns bonus coins and builds the daily habit of engaging with their finances. Challenges reset at midnight so there's always a reason to come back tomorrow.
We're working on a school license. If you're a teacher or school administrator interested in CoinCity for your classroom, email us at support@coincitykids.com and we'll be in touch.
