Run a software startup from a garage to an IPO. Ship features, squash bugs, hire a team (and a dog), survive the burn rate, and learn real SaaS metrics inc. MRR, churn, LTV, CAC, while a dry announcer narrates your every mistake. Free, in your browser, no signup required.

Hi PH 👋
It's Theme Hospital meets RollerCoaster Tycoon, set in a lovingly legally-distinct San Francisco (Goggle, Chirper, Hacker Mews). The sim under the hood is real: raise prices and conversion drops, ship without QA and bugs breed, a rival will undercut you to "free, for now."
It's free, runs in the browser, no account. Every run has a seed you can share as a challenge. Would love your feedback! I'm here all day.
Happy Saturday!

the dry announcer narrating your burn rate decisions is such a perfect touch, turns the usual dry metric lessons into something you actually want to keep playing. love that it runs in the browser with zero friction too.

Curious how realistic the SaaS metrics actually get here — like does churn scale with the decisions you make or is it more of a fixed curve so you can learn the formulas without it feeling random?
I can already imagine founders saying "just one more run" and suddenly losing an hour. 😄

The dry announcer narrating your missteps is such a clever touch, turns every failed launch into something you actually laugh at instead of rage-quit over. Love that it teaches MRR and churn by making you feel them first.
This is dangerously relevant for anyone building a startup :))
The dry announcer narrating every bad decision might be the best part. learning MRR, churn, CAC, burn rate, pricing, hiring, and shipping tradeoffs through a game sounds much more memorable than reading another SaaS metrics guide. "A rival will undercut you to free, for now" also feels painfully accurate.
I can already see myself hiring the dog before the company can afford it :)
