Northwestern Mutual has launched a mobile game to measure players’ financial security, based on their responses to statements on personal finance.

In the "Get Your Financial Security Score" game, players “agree” or “disagree” with a series of statements on topics ranging from financial planning acumen and investment strategy, to saving and preparing for the unexpected. Players receive a running tally after each question, as well as a final score out of 100 possible points at the end with suggestions for improving financial security.

"We all do things differently when it comes to financial planning, and it is important for each of us to have a sense for our level of financial security based on the choices and decisions we make," said John Grogan, SVP at Northwestern Mutual. "Our 'Get Your Financial Security Score' tool illustrates this reality. By considering the financial tips that the game displays and working with a trusted advisor, we're hopeful more individuals will get on the path to financial security."

"Get Your Financial Security Score" is available on Northwestern Mutual’s mobile site and Facebook page for free, and is accessible on most iPhone, Android and Blackberry browsers.
