Using Capitalism Lab Challenge Games for Education

Challenge Games in Capitalism Lab are designed for individual players to compete independently on their computers, aiming to achieve the highest score according to pre-defined rules. These games utilize a web-based leaderboard that allows players to compare their performance with others.

In these Challenge Games, each player participates on their own, without direct interaction with other players in real-time. They follow the specified rules and objectives to maximize their score within the game’s framework. As players make strategic decisions and manage their businesses, their progress and scores are recorded and displayed on the online leaderboard.

The leaderboard serves as a central hub where players can see their own ranking as well as the scores of other participants. It provides a platform for healthy competition and motivates players to strive for better results. Players can compare their performance, track their progress over time, and gauge their success relative to other players.
