Argentine Tax Agency Releases Free Video Game

The national tax agency, AFIP, on Thursday released a free video game for your entertainment pleasure. I haven’t had a chance to play the game, but I must admit it looks kinda cool. In the game, which in English would be called “Profile Risk,” you are an attractive, long-legged female tax agent named Martina. If all tax officials looked like her, it’s a good bet that AFIP would be far more popular. Your job is to solve tax crimes including, among other things, ”a dangerous hacker stealing confidential information.”

“Players take on the role of Martina and must guide this person through 12 missions while following a mysterious path of events that could lead to an international catastrophe,” says AFIP.

AFIP officials hope the game, which was designed for kids aged 10-16, will help teach them about the “social meaning of taxes,” “honesty,” and “solidarity.” Would kids learn any less about these things if Martina were actually a fat man named Fernando, who was bald and had raunchy nose hairs?
