The market is real. The money isn't.

Watch the trailer

Five financial capitals, real market sessions, one career. Captured from the game.

Real world. Simulated life.

Real-world markets provide the physics. The simulation creates your financial life.

REAL

Market prices and intraday movements
Volatility and trading sessions
Equities, ETFs, FX, commodities, crypto
Global time zones and market hours
The tension of a real market move

SIMULATED

Your money, salary and bonuses
Portfolios, funds, banks and clients
Careers, promotions — and firings
Apartments, cars, clubs, status
Reputation, rivals and legends

No real money is ever wagered. No real order is ever placed. You can lose everything in the game — never in real life.

Day One on Wall Street

The first playable chapter. One day. Real prices. Consequences that stay with you.

06:43 in a shared room in Brooklyn: a phone lights up with the pre-market

06:43
The alarm
Your phone lights up with the real pre-market. Your new boss wants you at the desk meeting.
06:55
The commute
Subway for $2.90, or a $46.80 cab from your last $2,840. Being late is remembered.
07:30
The 41st floor
Your assignment comes from the biggest real overnight move. A $2M book, a gross limit, a stop.
09:30
The opening bell
Trade against real prices. Your fills pay spread, impact and fees — being right is not enough.
10:52
The market moves
A real move hits. The desk knows your exact exposure. Hedge, cut or hold — and explain it.
11:00
The client calls
$100M family office, nervous about tech. Answer well and trust grows. Ignore him and it shows.
16:00
The review
Return, risk discipline, execution, conduct. Promoted, warned — or walked out by HR.

FAQ

Is this gambling or real trading?

No. FLOOR 41 is a game. All money and portfolios are virtual, there is no cash-out and no connection to any broker. It is not investment advice.

Are the prices really real?

Yes: the game runs on real market data. When the exchange is open you play the live session; when it is closed you play the most recent real session, replayed. The data source is always shown on screen.

Do I need to know finance?

No. The terminal starts in beginner mode and grows with you. Colleagues explain what is happening. Experts can switch to the full professional view.

Where can I play?

In the browser during the private beta. iOS and Android apps are on the roadmap.
