Colonial Personal Shopper is an interactive budgeting game where students shop in a colonial town for a wealthy merchant, choosing the correct versions of requested goods (based on subtle clues like size, quality, and quantity) while staying under a spending limit. Town events can raise prices, trigger sales, or close shops, and students use the “Check My Purchases” feature to see clear feedback, fix mistakes, and earn gold coins for shopping under budget—then print a detailed score report.
