Foreclosure: The video game

Are you ready for Foreclosure: The Video Game?

Well, ready or not, government-owned Fannie Mae has unveiled WaysHome, a free, online interactive game/movie and “learning tool.”

The game, tool, or whatever it is, is composed of several films about three families in a neighborhood:

  • There’s Jackie, a single mom with two kids, who is struggling to make her house payments.
  • A neighbor, Richard, is late on his mortgage and he’s thinking about walking away from his home.
  • Miguel and his wife, Gabi, are underwater on their mortgage. They’ve refinanced two or three times and they owe more on the loan than the home is worth. Should they refinance?

Each video lays out — in a reasonably well-acted and convincing story — the plight of the family involved. As the characters act out their dilemma, a narrator points out when they’re dealing with accurate or inaccurate information. At crucial junctures the action stops and the viewer is given several choices. You decide what the character should do. It’s called a “learning simulation.”
