Finance games
A daily stock market game, like Wordle for finance
Most stock market games are portfolio simulators that take weeks. CapItUp is a two-minute daily puzzle instead: one set of questions a day, the same for everyone, about what real companies are worth.
What you do
- Size it up. You see Netflix's market cap and Disney's logo. Drag a square to show how big Disney is by comparison.
- Line them up. Rank four S&P 500 companies by employees, profit, store count or revenue.
- Make an estimate. Type one number, like how many stores Target runs, with a calculator built in.
Each round is worth up to 100 points. Market caps update every night from live share prices, so the answers move with the market. Full rules.
Who it's for
Investors who want a quick daily check on their sense of scale. Students studying for finance interviews, where "what is this company worth?" comes up all the time. Anyone who reads business news and wants big numbers to mean something.
Why market caps?
Market cap, share price times shares outstanding, is the simplest way to compare companies. It's also easy to get wrong: share prices alone tell you very little. Guessing caps every day builds the instinct that Nvidia is bigger than Intel by a lot more than you'd think.
