Hidden BoC video game lets you battle inflation

If you’re looking for ways to wind down during the March break, the Bank of Canada has come up with a game that might be just what you need.

On the central bank’s web page that promotes the new $10 bank note, which features Viola Desmond, the BoC has hidden a video game called Inflation Busters.

As reported by BNN, here’s how to access it: “Beneath the image of the new bank note is a button labelled ‘SPIN’ […]. If users keep clicking the same button rapidly, a Space Invaders-style video game […] appears on-screen.”

If you click 20 times, the game should pop up. Then, it’s you against inflation in an intergalactic battle. (BNN adds the central bank has hidden Easter eggs in the past when promoting new bills, such as when it released the Canada 150 commemorative $10 note.)
