Game 1

Expiration Date

Open

Options are paid tickets: direction matters, but size and timing decide the payout.

Trade simulated SPX options through real historical market shocks. Use future knowledge to buy calls, puts, straddles, or sit in the safety of Treasury bills waiting for the right event, then see whether the actual S&P 500 move beat premium, volatility, and time decay.

Can you turn future knowledge into a top score before expiration eats the trade?

Game 2

Front Page Fortune

Open

Future knowledge is powerful, but markets price fear, relief, taxes, and timing.

Play a portfolio across real historical events using S&P 500 stocks, gold, a custom mix, or sit in the safety of Treasury bills waiting for the right event. You know what happened next, but the actual market data decides whether your allocation was genius or a trap.

Can you turn $100,000 into the biggest fortune without being fooled by the obvious trade?

Game 3

Harvest Ledger

Open

Futures magnify commodity moves, so contract size and risk control matter.

Speculate on real grain-market history with corn, soybean, wheat, or sit in the safety of Treasury bills waiting for the right event. Droughts, floods, crop reports, and trade shocks can make futures contracts surge, but one wrong harvest call can drain the ledger.

Can you read the crop tape, choose the right contract, and harvest the weekly high score?

Game 4

Sector Oracle

Open

A true event can still point to the wrong sector if the market already priced it in.

Rotate through real market eras using a balanced mix, tech, energy, banks, health care, staples, or sit in the safety of Treasury bills waiting for the right event. The historical event is known; the game is spotting which investment actually benefits when prices move.

Can you beat the index by finding the second-order winner before everyone else?

What you practice

Headlines are clues, not answers.

The games turn real historical events and real market data into score challenges: options timing, stock/gold/bond allocation, grain futures, sector rotation, tax friction, diversification, and position sizing.
