The Great Scam Escape is an interactive financial literacy gamification project developed by TeamCC (Canon Clutchers) in response to IDFC First Bank Problem Statement 4. Our goal is to teach users to play smart and stay sharp, helping them spot scams before they strike through engaging game mechanics and interactive learning.
This project includes both a website and a mobile app that gamify financial literacy. Users are placed in real-world scam scenarios, where they must navigate tricky situations involving scam emails, phishing links, and fraudulent messages without falling victim.
By incorporating elements like storytelling, level-based achievements, and instant feedback, users can progressively improve their scam detection skills while having fun.
- Interactive Quiz & Game: Tests real-world scam scenarios.
