The game is based around a 30-day subscription loop, and the core idea is to make the cause & effect trade-offs in product management visible and playable.

I’ve worked in product for many years, and wanted to see if there was an interactive way to share my experiences with people who have an interest in making product. Learning by doing, rather than reading a book. Hopefully it’s fun too.

// Built with React, TypeScript & Phaser. The sim engine is pure TypeScript / maths, and the game draws from its state. I’m a PM, so used a standard-ish product workflow, & Claude as my engineering team.

Right now it’s desktop only, as I want to validate the idea before spending even more time on this and adding even more complexity.

So honest question (& brutal honesty welcome):

Does the concept work? Is it educational / useful / fun? & yes I get it’s a bit bonkers, but is it bonkers in the right way?
