Enterprise Game

Game Description

The Entrepreneurs Game in 7 steps

Step 1: Registration
Before you can start playing this game you will have to register your code. You will then receive your own account name, that is linked to your company. During registration you can select 6 personal characteristics, 3 positive and 3 negative. On the next screen you can select your business sector: Gardening, Beauty Parlour, Media Services or ICT.

Step 2: Moving your company
After registration you will end up at the main menu. Here you will find links to your company profile, city districts, funds, messages, high score and off-button. First select a city district. If you click a city district the screen will show information on both the population composition and the competition within this specific city district. Move to the city district where you want your company to be based by clicking "Move company" and then select the location you wish to move to.

If you don't want to move to another city district, click the city district where your company is based. The standard location is the city district "Downside".

Step 3: Company profile
The next step is your company profile. Go to the Company profile page. You can select three categories: Simple, Normal and Deluxe. The prices are based on the number of employees. The more people you employ, the higher the inventory cost will be.

Step 4: Employees
Employees! No company can do without. In the Employees overview you can go shopping at the job market, but you can also offer training courses to your current employees, raise or lower wages, and even fire them (although in this case you will have to take into account redundancy fees).

Step 5: Marketing
It is essential that your company name is known to the market. For this, go to the Marketing page. You can distribute flyers in various city districts, sponsor teams, hang up posters, place an ad in the local newspaper or even start a TV campaign through the regional TV station.

Step 6: Prices
For setting the prices of the services supplied by you go to the Prices page. Here you can check the average price of a service, but you can also select the price you want to ask for this service. The page will also show the expected returns.

Are there any services that are lighter in colour? Are you unable to adapt them? In that case you will first have to earn the right to offer these services by training your employees.

Step 7: Funds
The table on the Funds screen shows the profit you made during the past few months. Here you can check your profit, but you can also see the returns made on each of the services offered by you. The total expenditure paid by you is divided into Employees, Inventory, Rent and Other cost, the latter being Training, Redundancy fees and Marketing.
