The Ad Council recently launched a new website on behalf of the U.S. Department of the Treasury in order to educate young people about how to use credit responsibly. Players gather information about debt management, credit history and credit cards in order to progress through the game and unlock “Room 850″ in a virtual hotel. You can play The Bad Credit Hotel and get valuable tips on managing your credit at controlyourcredit.gov.
