Bicycle
Low direct cost and no fuel, but time and distance may make it impractical.
Phase 3 · Upper secondary · Ages 16–18
Journey to School
Every choice has a cost.
School is far away and time is limited. Choose transport, manage money and respond to roadside risks while keeping enough for the school day ahead.

A–FDecision outcome
The scenario
Arrive prepared, not merely on time
Transport is only the beginning. Licence fees, fuel, tolls, repairs, insurance and school supplies all compete for the same money while the clock keeps moving.
A fast vehicle may protect time but consume the budget. A cheap choice may create a different risk. There is no decision without a consequence.
Game flow
Plan the whole journey before choosing the ride
Read the mission
Check the distance, deadline, school needs and starting money.
Choose transport
Compare purchase price, speed, fuel use, licence and reliability.
Manage the road
Respond to tolls, fuel stops, offers, risks and other travellers.
Review the outcome
Arrive, buy what is needed and inspect the decision summary.
The garage
Four rides, four financial profiles
Every vehicle card uses the same media area, so the artwork remains centred above the matching costs and description.
Basic motorcycle
Affordable motorised travel with moderate speed and running costs.
Sport motorcycle
Faster and more reliable, but it leaves less money for the rest of the journey.
Super motorcycle
Premium performance with a purchase price and running cost to match.
On the road
Real concepts appear as decisions
Events are not detached quiz questions. Learners must act with the resources and information they have at that moment.
⛽
Fuel and tolls
Compare unavoidable costs with time-saving alternatives.
🛡️
Insurance
Pay a known premium now to reduce an uncertain loss later.
🏦
Saving and interest
Lock money away and decide whether the return is worth less flexibility.
🚨
Scams
Recognise pressure and promises that are too good to be true.
🎟️
Gambling risk
See how a tempting prize can hide a poor expected outcome.
🤝
Helping others
Balance generosity with responsibilities already in the plan.
Decision summary
A grade with an explanation behind it
The A–F result brings together arrival, remaining resources, preparation, risk choices and overall planning. The summary shows the path taken so the learner can identify what to improve.
- Transport and total running cost
- Time, distance and arrival status
- School items and money remaining
- Responses to risk, saving and scams
For facilitators
Discuss the trade-offs, not only the grade
Compare routes across the class. Ask which costs were predictable, which risks were worth taking and how a different transport choice would change the rest of the plan.
Plan beyond the next turn
Phase 3 challenges upper-secondary learners to connect cost, time and risk.
