## What is Econ Pragma?

Econ Pragma turns economics into something you do, not something you study.

No lectures. No walls of text. Instead, you play with living markets — drag, slide, and experiment — and discover the rules for yourself. Only after you’ve felt how something works do we put a name to it.

It starts with a mystery: why do useless diamonds cost more than life-saving water? You’ll crack the famous Diamond–Water Paradox, then go on to advise failing businesses, cities, and whole economies as a high-end economic consultant.

HOW IT WORKS

• Play first. Every lesson opens with an interactive toy and zero instructions.
• Spot the pattern. Raise a price and watch customers walk away.
• Name the concept. Once it clicks, you unlock the principle behind it.
• Apply it. Use what you discovered to solve harder puzzles.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

30 hands-on lessons across 5 acts, covering the ideas that run the real world:

• Scarcity, opportunity cost & diminishing returns
• Supply, demand & market equilibrium
• Price elasticity & why some goods can charge almost anything
• Consumer & producer surplus
• Competition, monopoly & game theory
• Price controls, externalities & public goods
• Trade, exchange rates, GDP & unemployment

BUILT TO BE PLAYED

• Interactive sliders, drag-and-drop boards, and particle-driven markets
• Earn XP, keep daily streaks, and climb the leagues
• Run your own in-game economy: collect consulting fees, invest, and outpace inflation
• Unlock tools and upgrades in the consultant’s office store
• Collect stars and badges as you master each concept

Whether you’re a student trying to finally understand econ, a curious mind who loves a good puzzle, or someone who bounced off textbooks, Econ Pragma makes the logic of money, markets, and trade click — 15 minutes at a time.

Learn economics the way you learned to ride a bike: by doing it.
