Welcome to the Allan Gray Entrepreneurship Challenge!
It’s a fast-moving game of business domination – a strategy game, in which you have five weeks to compete for the top spot by launching your own business, take calculated risks in the gaming world, launch marketing campaigns – and ultimately to generate sales and revenue. Along the way, you’ll also make useful contacts that may open doors when the time comes to test your entrepreneurial flair for real.
We’ve turned entrepreneurship into an animated 2D world of excitement where you just might get to rule the business world. Plus, you stand a chance to win amazing prizes!
May the best CEO win! 💪🏻
The Challenge
What’s it like to be CEO of a listed enterprise? Step inside AGEC’s 2D game, and you’ll find out. We’ll have you juggling risky and rewarding corporate decisions, cutting deals, and watching your profits come flooding in…or trickling out if you’re not too careful. 😉
All you have to do is pick an avatar, then make your way to the top of the leaderboard by fulfilling a series of adventurous quests that take you to different places in the ever-changing world of business. You will interview many executives to hire your very own CTO, CMO and CFO in the game. You will build your start-up’s first profit making product from scratch before commercially launching it with clever marketing campaigns. You’ll negotiate strategic revenue and Profit/Loss targets with the chairperson in your Board of Directors – then win gaming points as your revenue starts to come in!. Think of it as taking the very first steps in the most exciting, dynamic career you could hope for. Plus, it’s completely free!
