Next.js lab
Supply & Demand Lab
Move curves, set controls, and watch prices, quantities, surplus, and deadweight loss react.
Learn: Market clearing, surplus, price controls, taxes, and deadweight loss.
Econ Arcade // learning command deck
Econ Arcade turns economics into focused games, simulations, and strategic decision-making drills. Every playable module is surfaced here, including Invisible Hands, Central Banker, Prisoner’s Dilemma, Strategy Studio, and Quant Library.
Featured playable card
This is its own first-class Econ Arcade card. Open the Steel Crisis simulator, make policy choices, and see how markets, banks, voters, and trade partners push back.
Playable launch bay
This launch bay intentionally includes both Next.js labs and static HTML games so no playable economics experience is hidden behind roadmap status.
Next.js lab
Move curves, set controls, and watch prices, quantities, surplus, and deadweight loss react.
Learn: Market clearing, surplus, price controls, taxes, and deadweight loss.
Next.js lab
The Steel Crisis scenario: govern Port Meridian while markets, voters, banks, and trade partners respond.
Learn: Systems thinking across micro incentives, macro policy, trade retaliation, and expectations.
Static game
Clear a street market by tuning price, supply confidence, and demand heat until decentralized agents coordinate.
Learn: Price signals, decentralized coordination, shortages, surpluses, and welfare.
Static game
Tune rates and guidance for ten quarters while inflation expectations, unemployment, and markets push back.
Learn: Inflation targeting, expectations, credibility, financial stability, and policy lags.
Static game
Probe cooperation and betrayal against AI opponent archetypes with a live payoff matrix and debriefs.
Learn: Dominant strategies, Nash pressure, reputation, retaliation, and repeated-game cooperation.
Strategy studio
A curriculum-wide game theory suite with multiple concept engines and a full campaign map.
Learn: Rational choice, static games, dynamic games, Bayesian information, auctions, signaling, bargaining, and mechanism design.
Companion tool
Explore rates, indices, stocks, ETFs, risk, regimes, and time-series signals in an explainable research workbench.
Learn: Applied macro data workflows, portfolio review, model governance, and scenario analysis.

Featured systems simulator
Invisible Hands is no longer buried as a teaser: the current Steel Crisis simulator is a first-class playable module, and the market-clearing Invisible Hands static game remains linked for the shorter microeconomics version.
Play Steel CrisisFuture scenario
Trade War is planned as a future Invisible Hands scenario, not the whole game: tariffs, retaliation, supply chains, voters, and rival economies all push back.
