Building a fresh new business is never easy. The competition is steep, you lack the expertise, and, often, you don’t really know where to begin.
If you think about it, that isn’t too dissimilar to the beginning of a typical RPG. You’re thrown into a world full of monsters you can’t defeat, wearing gear that would barely help you at the dinner table.
It’s a comparison that the developer of Business Empire drew, it seems, as the game provides you with a fun RPG experience while simultaneously teaching you everything you need to know to help your business flourish.
Business Empire takes place in a Tolkien-esque fantasy world that you can explore at your leisure. Pretty soon, you’ll pick up a few quests. Except, unlike your typical RPG, these won’t challenge you to kill ten rats.
Instead, they will teach you business fundamentals, which both improves your in-game character and your real world knowledge. There’s also the Quest University, which provides an absolute ton of resources, including instructional videos, worksheets, strategies, and more.
Business Empire will then matchmake you with other aspiring entrepreneurs as you strive to build your businesses together. You might just find the perfect partner, or simply share great advice that helped you overcome your obstacles.
Rounding out the experience is a series of minigames, which will put what you’ve learned to the test, as well as a podcast series. Those are great if you’d like to keep the learning coming, but fancy kicking back a bit.
So, while you’re simply building up your own fantasy empire within a game, you’re also learning how to build your business in the real world. The best part? You’re having fun while doing so.
Business Empire is available right now on the App Store or Google Play for free.
