Freedom Quest is an experiential game that replicates real world situations with real world variables, so as to expose players to a myriad of varied circumstances. According to company officials, "the goal is to provide a fun and safe learning environment with the purpose of players walking away from the game with significantly higher levels of financial acumen, and the ability to make wiser decisions in their own lives".

The company is also working on an educational version of the game for the educators. As stated by officials "it will be aligned with the curriculum, will come with lesson plans, will allow teachers to put students in a simulated environment whose variables they control, will automatically generate reports outlining student's performance both individually and compared to the rest of the class...etc. The goal for the EDU version is to make it so easy and so convenient for teachers that it becomes the default tool for teaching financial literacy in the classroom."

Ignov8 is looking to raise $62,421 to polish Freedom Quest, improve the graphics, expand the gameplay and add some of the more complex features, before the game can be released.
