The National Crime Prevention Council (“NCPC”) launches #XiamTheScams (the “Game”), a fun, educational and easy-to-play life simulator web game developed by Sqkii. The Game is created to reflect real-life complexities where balancing health, wealth, happiness, relationships and fun can be a challenge. The thrill of playing comes from overcoming these challenges and climbing the leaderboard. To do that, players have to pick a character and go through the character’s life journey for 100 in-game days, equivalent to approximately a few days to one week in real life. There are three characters to choose from, and altogether hundreds of scenarios across ninety storylines.

- Duration: Start playing from 24th October 2024, 10:00 AM to 22nd January 2025, 9:59 AM.
- Objective: Navigate through life-like scenarios, making wise decisions to maximize your score in health, wealth, happiness, relationships, and fun.
- Characters: Choose from three distinct characters – Financial Guru Amy, Good Deal Charlie, and Streamer Tommy – each with their unique journey.
