For parents & teachers
Trading done wrong is gambling. Done right, it builds security.
Many young people will meet trading apps before they meet a pension. Done wrongly, trading is gambling: chasing quick wins, big risks and hope. Done right, it's slow, careful compounding that builds real financial security.
Hoglet’s games teach the right way, with pretend money, so the lesson that greed loses money is learned before any real money is at stake.
Meet the guides
Hoglet (Beginner) learns to survive: hold, let go, and protect the pot when danger comes. That's the stop-loss.
Hedgie (Learner) learns to build: plan first, protect first, then let patience do the work.
What the games teach
Hoglet’s games are free games about how money really works. Players use pretend money only. The games reward careful choices, not big wins: every game shows a risk or discipline score, and the leaderboards rank careful play first.
- Hoglet Gold Dash (Beginner): quick arcade rounds about when to hold and when to let go.
- Hoglet Gold Trader (Learner): real gold prices and real news, practising risk limits, stop-losses and patience.
This is not betting or gambling. There is nothing to buy and no real money.
What we keep
- An age group (under 13, or 13 and over), stored on this device only, to set safety rules.
- If a player joins a leaderboard: a random anonymous ID, a nickname and game scores.
- Under-13s can only choose nicknames from approved words (like "Golden Fox 42"). Real names can't be entered.
- No emails, no real names, no location, no chat, no messages between players.
- When a device first joins a leaderboard we use Cloudflare Turnstile to check it's a real person, not a bot. It doesn't use advertising cookies or track players across sites.
