When we were asked by YouthNet to develop a game that encouraged young people to think responsibly about money we knew that we had to do it in a thoroughly irresponsible manner to grab their attention. So in inimitable Kerb style we decided to set the game in a downtrodden neighbourhood where rival gangs are waging a turfwar on a shoestring budget. What's new about that? well as the player you have to tactically purchase artillery from a particularly sorry arsenal of weapons ranging from dead cats to dog poo and yes even used condoms, all of which have rather amusing consequences on your enemy.

 

The game itself has had over 1.5 million plays in the first three months with over 50,000 players clicking through to the content that actually provides support for youth debt. It got voted No 2 in the FHM Top 100 games and as far as investing in an online game to promote it's services Youthnet said "TurfWar has already proved its worth".
