Hype Cycle Exchange
A live, multiplayer stock-market game for a classroom. The host runs timed trading rounds from a projector while everyone trades on their own phone or laptop with a game code. Each round reveals a year of news that moves the prices, and one company doesn't make it.
- Daily Challenge: a new solo market every day, the same for everyone, with shareable scores and streaks
- Buy, sell and short six stocks, including an index fund
- Timed rounds, hidden results and a live leaderboard
- Capital gains taxes: short-term vs long-term, with loss carryforward
- News and Markets tabs with charts of every stock
- A game-show podium finale with music and sound effects
- Decades Edition: real companies from 1980–2008 in disguise, with real economic briefings each round and their true names revealed at the end
Players join with a 5-letter code from the host. Hosting needs a secret results file (one for the AI Hype edition, one for the Decades Edition), which isn't posted here.
