Ages, pricing, the August 1 beta, and what this site is not.
A financial-education house for kids and teens. It makes two things: interactive books (five picture books, a graphic novel, comics, and four written courses) and Market Mayhem, a stock-market game where the price reacts to what the player does. Everything is written and built by the founder, Nate Sillyman.
No. The books, comics, courses, and Market Mayhem are education and entertainment. Nothing on this site recommends the purchase or sale of any security, no page tells anyone what to do with real money, and no game balance is real money.
The picture books are banded on their covers: ages 3–5, 5–6, 7–8, 8–10, and 9–13. Book One (ages 3–5) is live now; Books Two through Five are being remade edition by edition and sit behind Coming Soon until they are ready. The comics and The Quantum Investor graphic novel are written for 13–14 and up. Market Mayhem has a Kids Mode for ages 7–13 with no money and no jargon, and a Pro Mode for 14+ played with virtual dollars.
One idea per book, inside a real story. Book One is supply and demand at a market stall. Book Two is ownership, through a boy who sells pieces of a shop he cannot afford alone. Book Three is reading patterns without predicting from them. Book Four is profit as money in minus money out. Book Five is dividends, reinvestment, and compounding.
Nothing. Book One (fully narrated) and the graphic novel are free to read on this site, on any device, no signup. There are no downloads or PDFs for sale, and nothing to check out anywhere on the site. The Market Mayhem beta is free to join from the waitlist.
The desktop beta opens August 1 and is gated by the waitlist: members get access the morning it opens. The full app release follows in September.
No. There is no real money anywhere in Market Mayhem. Kids Mode has no money at all. Pro Mode uses virtual dollars, and the game is built so a player can lose a round but can never go into debt or owe anything.
No. Badges are earned by playing, full stop. There is no way to buy one, for kids or anyone else.

KeepMore began as an advisory-services practice focused on fee examination, benchmarking, and negotiation. Those pages are retired from the front of the site but remain available in the archive at /archive.
