Now available in English and Spanish! Master Accounting by Running Your Own Business! Stop being intimidated by debits, credits, and balance sheets. Lemons: Learn Accounting is a fun, engaging simulation game that teaches you real-world bookkeeping and financial principles by letting you run your own lemonade stand. Don’t just tap away - learn with a real accounting engine. Every action you take, from buying supplies to paying rent, generates a double-entry journal entry in the background. You'll make strategic business decisions and see the immediate financial impact, tracing the transactions through financial reports. Core Gameplay β€’ Run Your Stand: Start with initial capital and manage your day-to-day operations. β€’ Manage Inventory: Buy your supplies (lemons, sugar, and cups) and watch your inventory levels. β€’ Set Your Price: Analyze your costs and market conditions to set your daily lemonade price. The game even simulates price elasticity to affect demand! β€’ Grow Your Business: Use your profits to purchase strategic upgrades, improve your recipe, buy advertising or invest in a larger stand, or even hire an assistant to boost your sales potential. β€’ Handle Events: React to dynamic market changes, like supply shortages or local festivals, that affect your costs and customer traffic. See Your Live Financial Reports This is where the learning happens. You have full access to a real-time ledger that updates with every transaction. β€’ P&L Ledger (Income Statement): See a clear breakdown of your daily Sales Revenue versus your Expenses (like COGS, Rent, and Salaries) to find your Net Profit or Loss. β€’ Balance Sheet: Get a snapshot of your business's health. Watch your Assets (Cash, Inventory) and Liabilities (Loans, Accounts Payable) change as you play, all balanced against your Equity. β€’ Cash Book: Learn the vital difference between profit and cash. This report tracks your actual cash movements (Cash In vs. Cash Out) for the day. β€’ Trial Balance: For aspiring accountants, you can view the full Trial Balance to confirm that your total Debits equal your total Credits. A Classroom in Your Pocket We built this game to be a powerful learning tool for students, business owners, or anyone curious about finance. β€’ "Bookkeeping 101" Tutorial: A fully interactive, guided tutorial that walks you step-by-step through the fundamentals. You'll post your first journal entries for capital, purchases, and sales, learning why a debit increases an Asset and a credit increases Equity. β€’ Test Your Knowledge: As you play, you'll be presented with daily quiz questions to test your understanding. With 127+ questions spanning Beginner to Expert, you'll master concepts from basic definitions to financial ratios. β€’ In-Depth Learning Guide: Access a built-in 20+ page instruction manual explaining key concepts like "What is Bookkeeping?," "The P&L Statement," "Markup vs. Margin," "Working Capital," and "Depreciation". β€’ Accounting Dictionary: A handy in-app dictionary to look up terms like "Accounts Payable," "COGS," or "Intangible Asset" whenever you need. Whether you're a student who wants to ace your next exam or just want to finally understand what "debits" and "credits" really mean, this is the most fun you'll ever have learning accounting.
