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.
