About This Quiz

If you're going to prepare yourself for the real world, playing the Game of LIFE is a good way to get your feet wet. From unexpected expenses to the cost of a growing family, you can easily go bankrupt before you have time to name your triplets. Play a board-less game with us, and your choices will tell us how old you are! 

We're not talking about the age your birth certificate says. We're talking about the age you act, the age you feel and the age you live your life like. Whether you're 51 and running around like you're 24 or you're the mom of your friend group, the Game of LIFE can tell you where you stand. Grab your favorite color car and choose a pink or blue peg. Every choice you make will give you away.

Will you choose to get married, or do you know you're not ready yet? Will you spend extra time at night school, or will you stick with the job you have? Are you already feeling overwhelmed before you begin? Take your first spin and deal with the space where you land. Then, we'll tell you how old you are at heart!
