Description
Turn your classroom into a competitive real-world business simulation.
The Ice Cream Business Strategy Game is an interactive web app + Google Sheets engine where each team becomes an ice cream company competing for market share.
Each round, teams submit:
- 💰 Price
- 🏭 Production quantity
- 📣 Advertising spend
The instructor processes the round, and the game instantly calculates:
- Market demand
- Competitive market share
- Sales
- Inventory balance
- Revenue
- Total cost
- Profit
Students can see their results in real time, learn from mistakes, and adjust strategy.
The game is ideal for:
✔ Business classes
✔ MBA programs
✔ Economics & microeconomics courses
✔ Marketing classes
✔ Strategy workshops
✔ Corporate training sessions
It takes 5–10 minutes to set up and is highly engaging for students of all ages.
