Market Mayhem is a browser-based stock market simulation game. You start with $10,000 and trade 40 fictional companies across 8 sectors, tech, biotech, energy, defense, and more, in a market that ticks every 5 seconds. What makes it different: the market feels alive. A news engine generates events that move prices. Market regimes shift between bull runs, crashes, and speculative manias. And every real player trade adds pressure that actually moves the price.

Hey Product Hunt! I built Market Mayhem because I wanted the tension of trading without the financial ruin. The core idea: what if a stock market simulator actually felt like sitting at a trading terminal? Not a gamified mobile app with cartoon graphics, but dense panels, real candlestick charts, ticking prices, and mechanics that reward learning patterns over random clicking. The feature I'm most proud of is the player-driven price pressure. The market runs autonomously (simulating thousands of "invisible" traders), but every real player trade shifts buy/sell pressure that feeds into the price engine. Illiquid stocks are highly sensitive, a coordinated buy wave visibly pumps the price. Blue chips require serious volume to move.
