Where Did My Money Go?

Amar Taka Gelo Koi — Inflation Game

Same note, lighter shopping bag — learn how inflation works by playing

Start in 1995 with ৳1,000 and move forward five years at a time. Each time, choose where to keep the money, guess the new price of the same market basket — and see how many baskets your money buys now.

The numbers are approximate, for learning — close to Bangladesh’s average inflation. The “market basket” is an example, not a real shop’s prices.

How to play

  1. See how many market baskets your money buys at the start.
  2. At each step, choose: keep the money at home, or in the bank.
  3. When time moves on, guess the new price of the same basket — 10 points if you are right.
  4. Another 10 points if your buying power does not fall.
  5. At the end, see how much money you have and what it really buys.
