## What is Big Short?

Big Short drops you into the biggest stock market crashes in history with $10,000 of virtual money. The chart moves day by day, headlines from the time stop the clock, and you decide: buy, step aside into cash, or bet on the fall.

REAL CRASHES, DAY BY DAY
• 2008 Financial Crisis and the 2020 Pandemic Crash, free
• 1929 Great Crash, 1987 Black Monday, the 2000 Dot-com Bubble and the 2022 Inflation Shock with Premium
• The AI Boom, an ongoing story that grows with updates
• Real daily index data and real headlines from each era

BEAT BUY AND HOLD
Your portfolio always sits next to simple buy and hold. Stars reward beating the market without huge drawdowns, not reckless bets. After each crash you see your best and worst move and a short lesson on what really happened.

DAILY CHALLENGE
Every day everyone plays the same hidden piece of market history: 120 sessions, no dates, one try. Then the date is revealed. Keep your streak, compare your score in Game Center and share your result.

BLIND MODE
With Premium, play a random crash with the dates hidden and find out if you can read the market without knowing the story.

Big Short is an educational game about market history with virtual money. It is not investment advice and involves no real trading. Free with ads; Premium is a one-time purchase that unlocks all crashes, blind mode and removes ads.
