Think Like an Underwriter โ the training game for mortgage pros.
Each run is one loan file. Roll the dice, work the pipeline, clear the conditions, and get it to the closing table before the rate lock dies.
โข ๐ญ Pick your underwriter: the Processor (+5 lock days, shrugs off surprises), the Closer (cheaper shops, fatter commission), or the Detective (sees the next tile, free reroll).
โข Roll the dice to move down the pipeline. Each roll burns 1 day off the rate lock.
โข โ ๏ธ Problem tiles: a file scenario โ pick the right next step.
โข โญ XP & levels: right calls earn XP. Level up to draft 1 of 3 perks.
โข ๐ Every file has a story โ borrower chapters unlock as you cross the board.
โข โจ Buff tiles: clean file โ free strength. ๐ฉ๏ธ Surprise tiles: the file fights back.
โข ๐ Shop tiles: spend favors on tools (rapid rescore, waivers, lock extensions).
โข โ Quiz tiles: spot the red flag.
โข ๐ Title tiles: lien surprises โ pick the right next step.
โข ๐๏ธ Appraisal tiles: value problems โ pick the right next step.
โข ๐ Bonus tiles: good news โ rate deals, credits, extra commission.
โข Flawless close (zero wrong calls) earns a โ $10 coffee card โ in-game, but the glory is real.
โข Final tile: the investor overlays boss โ 3 conditions, beat at least 2.
โข ๐๏ธ Career ranks: close files and bank commission to climb from Junior Underwriter to Legend of the Lock Desk. Each rank unlocks new tiles, tougher twists โ and bigger commissions.
โข ๐ฅ Streaks: close files back-to-back to multiply commission (up to 3x). Lose one and the streak resets.
โข โ ๏ธ Legendary files appear at high ranks โ rare, brutal, and very well paid.
โข ๐ People tiles: the LO, processor, closer, or broker needs you. No perfect answers โ every choice costs something, and shady shortcuts plant audit risk that can blow up at final review.
โข File closes โ bank commission โ buy permanent ๐ณ skill-tree nodes here (one path per class, two tiers each). File dies โ keep 20%.
Spend banked commission. Nodes are permanent across runs. A Tier 2 node needs the Tier 1 node above it.
