The Micro Business Game

Embark on an entrepreneurial journey in Garton Town with this immersive micro-business simulation! Run your own fresh juice shop, mastering all aspects of business ownership, from accounting and resource management to production and sales. This engaging game, adapted from the classic Business Games of the German Sparkassenstiftung for International Cooperation (DSIK) and funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), provides a realistic and comprehensive experience.

Develop your financial acumen by making key decisions about hiring, menu planning, supplier selection, and financial strategies. This game replicates the learning experience of a seminar, but with the added benefit of accessibility anytime, anywhere. DSIK believes that strong financial decision-making skills are crucial for personal and professional success, and this game helps cultivate those skills using a proven methodology refined over 20 years.
