Friends who work in law, finance, or gaming: I have a page you should have a look at.

http://ftalphaville.ft.com/insider-trading-game/

From the description:
This game is brought to you by True Office, and was developed in partnership with with Thomson Reuters Accelus. Their real insider trading game is longer, and they’ve kindly given us this mini-version for a limited period.

...

True Office has taken those incredibly boring snoring compliance tests that loads of people have to do every year and made them fun. Actually fun. It’s pretty cool… and/or our memory of taking the dry version of these tests is pretty darn awful.
I'd call it more a graphical version of those compliance tests rather than an actual game, but if your job has anything to do with this sort of thing, it's worth a look.

It's only available until Friday, October 4th, so check it out this week.

My favorite part was when I yelled, "Even I can tell that's insider trading and I'M NOT EVEN PLAYING THE GAME YOU DOUCHEBAG!" at one of the characters from my end of the couch.

You have no idea how funny that was to me at the time.

I got a sense of it, from the way you started laughing. Possibly giggling. Possibly guffawing, I dunno.

The compliance training modules I have to do at work absolutely sap my will to live.

Neeto! Thanks for sharing this. I've sometimes wondered if we should be getting into gamification.

Thanks, that was fun. I only got 70% though. Should've done better.

I'll bet.

Would this kind of graphical presentation help any?

Hmmm, "If you win, you get a billion dollars. If you lose, you get 15 years."?
