Econ Pragma: Economics Game

Play & Learn How Money Works

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Learn economics by doing — not memorizing. Play with live markets, discover the rules yourself, and finally get why diamonds cost more than water. Econ Pragma turns economics into something you do, not something you study. No lectures. No walls of text. Instead, you play with living markets — drag, slide, and experiment — and discover the rules for yourself. Only after you’ve felt how something works do we put a name to it. It starts with a mystery: why do useless diamonds cost more than life-saving water? You’ll crack the famous Diamond–Water Paradox, then go on to advise failing businesses, cities, and whole economies as a high-end economic consultant. HOW IT WORKS • Play first. Every lesson opens with an interactive toy and zero instructions. • Spot the pattern. Raise a price and watch customers walk away. • Name the concept. Once it clicks, you unlock the principle behind it. • Apply it. Use what you discovered to solve harder puzzles. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN 30 hands-on lessons across 5 acts, covering the ideas that run the real world: • Scarcity, opportunity cost & diminishing returns • Supply, demand & market equilibrium • Price elasticity & why some goods can charge almost anything • Consumer & producer surplus • Competition, monopoly & game theory • Price controls, externalities & public goods • Trade, exchange rates, GDP & unemployment BUILT TO BE PLAYED • Interactive sliders, drag-and-drop boards, and particle-driven markets • Earn XP, keep daily streaks, and climb the leagues • Run your own in-game economy: collect consulting fees, invest, and outpace inflation • Unlock tools and upgrades in the consultant’s office store • Collect stars and badges as you master each concept Whether you’re a student trying to finally understand econ, a curious mind who loves a good puzzle, or someone who bounced off textbooks, Econ Pragma makes the logic of money, markets, and trade click — 15 minutes at a time. Learn economics the way you learned to ride a bike: by doing it.
