Traditional financial crime training fails your organisation and your people
"Staff had completed all required online training modules with perfect scores. Yet they missed obvious red flags in their day-to-day work."
Regulatory bodies are increasingly critical of ineffective training that creates a false sense of compliance.
"Inadequacy of staff training" identified as a critical compliance failure. Staff demonstrated "low levels of Financial Crime awareness" despite completing training.
The SRA recommends "immersive scenarios" to test understanding and keep training "interactive and relevant to a fee earner's role."
Real-world AML work is "messier" than quiz-based assessments capture. Experienced professionals often disagree about suspicious activity.
Critical thinking, not click-throughs
Meta-analyses across dozens of studies consistently show game-based learning significantly outperforms traditional instruction.
Digital Games, Design, and Learning: Meta-Analysis
PubMed, 2016
Finding: In K–16 education, digital games significantly enhanced student learning compared to non-game methods (SMD ≈ 0.33). "Augmented" game designs with richer mechanics boosted outcomes further (SMD ≈ 0.34)
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26937054Gamification & Game-Based Learning Meta-Analysis
Education Research International, 2022
Finding: Gamification yielded a large effect size (0.85) and game-based learning a moderate-to-large effect (0.54) on learning achievement—both outperforming passive learning
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1155/2022/1519880Interactive Learning Environments Meta-Analysis
Science Education & Technology, 2025
Finding: Game-based learning outperformed conventional instruction, with significant gains in cognitive outcomes (d = 0.674). Enhanced designs with embodied cognition or problem-solving mechanics improved motivation and achievement

Int'l J. Comp Games Tech, 2019
Finding: Across 46 studies, serious games enhanced cognitive ability, motivation, and learner satisfaction vs non-game learning. Learners engaged longer and more deeply, even if test score differences varied by context
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1155/2019/4797032Digital Game-Based STEM Learning: Meta-Analysis
International Journal of STEM Education, 2023
Finding: A meta-analysis of 86 studies comparing digital game–based STEM learning (e.g. puzzle, role-playing, simulation games) versus traditional methods found a medium-to-large effect size (g = 0.624), indicating significantly better learning outcomes from game-based approaches.

An investigative game where learners aren't just watching — they're doing.
Players assume the role of Sofia St Claire, an investigative journalist who receives an anonymous tip about a glamorous fashion label. What begins as a story about style soon unravels into a dark web of money laundering, human trafficking, and offshore deception.
Learners follow money trails, decode corporate structures, analyse transactions, and uncover the hidden operators behind financial crime. View all 12 topics covered.
Practical competencies that transfer directly to day-to-day work.

"Real understanding comes from doing, not watching. Our training builds the instincts your team needs to spot financial crime in the real world."
Developed by Dr Annalise Vineer, combining decades of frontline experience with cutting-edge learning design.
Every scenario, every red flag, every corporate structure in the game reflects patterns observed in real financial crime investigations.
12 downloadable reference materials included to support ongoing learning.
"Felt like I was part of a movie... I became emotionally connected to the story and the characters. That's never happened with compliance training before."
"A huge step up from traditional AML training. I actually wanted to keep playing to find out what happened next. The learning stuck."
"A refreshing approach to online learning. It challenges you to think critically rather than just clicking through slides."
