Synopsis

Spent (stylized SPENT) is an online game about poverty and homelessness. It was developed by advertising agency McKinney for their pro bono client Urban Ministries of Durham (UMD), a nonprofit organization in Durham, North Carolina that provides services to those in poverty. Players must make the difficult decisions necessary to live for one month on $1000, often having to choose between equally disagreeable options, such as a healthy meal and working electricity, or covering the minimum on credit cards and paying the rent. Spent was released for browser and mobile in February 2011. As of 2014, it has been played more than 4 million times.
