The Micro Business Game

Embark on an entrepreneurial journey in Garton Town with this micro-business simulation! Manage your own fresh juice shop, mastering all aspects of running a small business – from accounting and resource management to production and sales. Face the exciting challenges and opportunities of growth, making key decisions about hiring, menu planning, suppliers, and finances.

This 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 comprehensive, hands-on learning experience mirroring a real-world business seminar. Improve your financial literacy and entrepreneurial skills by navigating real-life financial choices. DSIK leverages over 20 years of experience in financial education, combining the expertise of German Sparkassen and financial literacy specialists to empower micro-entrepreneurs.
