An introduction to the online independent living and money game Stand Tall

Stand Tall was designed by the IHC Library for all young people in New Zealand including those with intellectual disabilities, neurodiversity and autism. 

Stand Tall is a free online money game available to play on the web – www.ihc-standtall.com or download from the Google Play or Apple App stores. 

Players create an avatar, learn about budgeting, and navigate various scenarios. Each scenario offers three choices, impacting the avatar’s financial and wellbeing scores. Stand Tall has voiceover, and the scenarios are examples of events that can happen in a shared flat. 

It’s a fun, free and engaging learning experience. 

Helen will run through a brief presentation which will show you how the game looks.
