• Location: Tbilisi, Georgia
• Project Brief: Design an education platform that teaches financial literacy and life skills through gamified storytelling and interactive experiences.

An education app earns its screen time when a child picks it up without being asked. Redberry's Other Universe for Bank of Georgia's sCoolApp clears that bar by treating financial literacy and cybersecurity as worlds worth exploring rather than subjects worth enduring.

Financial literacy is a genuine gap in Georgia, even among adults. Redberry followed psychologist-backed research that children learn most effectively through play, embedding the curriculum inside a mission-based structure where educational content surfaces through narrative rather than instruction.

Each mission delivers a quick scenario-based question, then unlocks a Reveal window where character-driven storylines contextualize the financial concept just answered. The feedback loop is immediate: correct answers advance the story, wrong ones prompt explanation before progress continues.

Eighty missions span saving, budgeting, cybersecurity and logical thinking across four illustrated worlds, tied together by a persistent story archive that expands as kids complete chapters. Progression runs on glitters, the in-game currency that gates new chapters and avatar customization items, including a Georgian national football team uniform tied to Bank of Georgia's sponsorship of the Georgian Football Federation.

A built-in ChatGPT integration operates as a separate feature within sCoolApp, available alongside the game for real-time Q&A. It serves a dual function: supporting learning through on-demand guidance while contributing directly to the app's monthly active user metrics for its GPT functionality.
