Short daily games built on real economic data: price surveys, national accounts, trade statistics, a century of market history. No ads, nothing to install, each one takes a few minutes.
Today's games
-
Cost of Living 3 a day
Read a report of everyday prices (a meal, rent, a transit pass, this year's inflation) and guess which city it describes. A countries edition too.
-
Market Mogul 1 a day
$100,000 and a stretch of history, different every day. Invest it a decade at a time in real companies, gold, bonds and houses at the prices of the time. Beat the index fund.
-
Real Estate Mogul 1 a day
Start with $500,000 in 2000, buy homes in real neighbourhoods across the US, UK and Europe, sell or hold as the years jump forward, and see what you're worth today.
-
Output 1 a day
How one country's GDP is made: farming, factories, mining, services, and where the money comes from. Guess the country.
-
Luxury Rank 1 a day
Five luxury lots from one category. Drag them into order from most to least valuable.
-
Cargo Unlimited
A map of what one country exports. Guess the country, then play another.
