## What is The Because Game?

Because is a free, educational simulation game designed to help users explore how decisions are made in financial markets without using real money.

In this game, users make predictions about the future price range of assets such as stocks, cryptocurrencies, and commodities on a specific date and time. Each prediction can be supported with reasoning using "Because" statements, allowing users to explain the logic behind their thinking.

How it works

Choose an asset and a future date/time

Predict a price range

Add your reasoning using "Because" statements

Explore and join prediction pools created by other users

Use free in-app points (no real money involved) to participate

Each day, users receive free points that can be used to participate in different prediction pools. Pools without reasoning are treated as simple guesses, while those with "Because" statements reflect structured thinking.

All predictions close before the target time. Once the event concludes, results are evaluated, and points are distributed within the game based on outcomes.
