Accounting software company Open Ledger has launched a new product in time for tax day.
Meet PokéTax, a game that helps make tax filing quite fun. Instead of tax forms, users take on Tax Trainers gym leaders representing different parts of a tax form, such as income, deductions, and credits.
Each leader asks questions that help players complete their tax forms! The game is an adaptation of the open source Pokémon game called Pokémon Showdown, and before you ask our sources promised this was not an April Fool’s joke.
The game has an AI assistant that helps organize users’ responses, and players can win badges discover new deductions, as they take on the Tax Trainers.
PokèTax hopes that by adding fun to such financial processes, they will be more engaging and way less soul-sucking.
Remember taxes are due April 15th!
