This study addresses the challenge of low Islamic financial literacy among Indonesian millennials, which hinders the development of the Islamic financial industry. To bridge this gap, the research evaluates the effectiveness of the educational board game "Mr. Finso" in improving Islamic financial literacy. Using a quasi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test, and follow-up, 150 participants aged 25-40 were divided into experimental (n=75) and control (n=75) groups. The experimental group played the Mr. Finso game, while the control group received conventional education. Mixed ANOVA revealed a significant interaction between time and group (F(2, 296) = 87.45, p < 0.001), with the experimental group showing a large improvement in literacy scores (Cohen's d = 1.92) that persisted three months post-intervention. Regression analysis identified key factors influencing literacy gains, including age, education, and motivation. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of game-based learning in enhancing Islamic financial literacy and recommends integrating such tools into broader financial education programs.
