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.

These games also live, alongside the non-economic ones, at Games You Can Play at Work.

Data from the World Bank, UN national accounts, Robert Shiller, the OECD, GeoNames, Zillow, HM Land Registry and others; each game names its sources.
