Learn how investing works by playing a board game. Work jobs, buy real estate, trade stocks, survive market crashes — and figure out how to buy the bank.
No account required. No credit card. Just play.
Your goal is simple: grow your net worth enough to buy the bank — the most valuable asset in town.
Walk to a job and work it for instant cash. Start squeezing lemons, work your way up to executive positions. Or study to unlock better jobs.
Invest your money in businesses, real estate, and the stock market. Passive income flows in every payday — even when you're not working.
Survive recessions, avoid bad deals, and grow your net worth until you can afford the bank. That's how you win.
Every mechanic in the game mirrors real investing principles. You'll learn by doing — not by watching lectures.
Trade 20+ stocks with real-style price movements. Buy low, sell high. Some crash, some moon.
Buy local businesses — from lemonade stands to luxury hotels. Each has its own profit margin and risk profile.
Invest in properties. Collect rent. Watch values rise and fall with the economy.
Markets crash every few minutes. Businesses close. Stocks drop. Can you survive when everyone else panics?
New companies go public. Some boom, some bust. Meme stock rallies can make you rich or wipe you out.
Play with a friend on the same screen. Race to buy the bank. Side-by-side split screen mode.
Save your progress anytime. Come back later and pick up where you left off.
Beat the game fast enough to make it onto the leaderboard. Can you set a record?
New to investing? The tutorial walks you through everything. No prior knowledge needed.
The base game is free forever. Upgrade when you want more challenges and features.
"I played Cashflow 101 before and this is way more fun. The recessions actually make it tense!"
"My 14-year-old got hooked. Now he's asking me about stocks. That alone is worth it."
"I've been investing for 10 years and still learned a thing or two about timing the market... or not timing it."
Yes. The base game is 100% free to play. No ads, no paywalls, no catch. We make money when players upgrade to the premium DLC or the Real Investor Pass — but you never have to.

No. It's a game. All money is fake. The mechanics mirror real investing principles, but there's zero financial risk. It's educational, not a brokerage.
Yes! Local 2-player mode works on one device — split screen, each player uses their own keyboard controls. Online multiplayer is on the roadmap for a future update.
