Gold Honors in the 2020 International Serious Play Awards
Accounting for Empires,
developed by Becker Professional
Education, has been awarded a bronze medal for its excellence in the 2020 International
Serious Play Awards competition in the Corporate and Vocational Skills category.
The mobile Serious Game gives CPA (Certified Public Account) applicants
a supplementary study tool as part of Becker’s CPA Exam Review course. With
national CPA Exam pass rates hovering around 50%, the Uniform CPA Examination
is one of the most difficult professional credentialing exams. That’s why it is
important to study effectively to ensure that you pass each of the four exam
sections and continue on your path to the CPA license.
Accounting for Empires™ utilizes
multiple-choice questions and task-based simulations to provide students with an
engaging context for learning. Players answer increasingly difficult
accounting-related questions to gain the points necessary to build banks,
universities, and markets. As they progress through nearly 140 hours of
gameplay, the construction process becomes faster and more efficient, allowing
their empire and accounting knowledge to grow, until the candidate’s ultimate
moment of glory: passing the exam.
Gameplay
In the game, players are encouraged to demonstrate their skills
through a combination of game strategy and knowledge. In the multiplayer mode,
they can create alliances, conduct espionage, or challenge other players to
increase their resources.
