The party mode
Everyone trades the same market in real time, plays cards on each other in secret, and watches the whole round unravel in one dramatic reveal.
The core loop
One "quarter" is one simulated trading day. The advisor's Advance button moves the whole room through five phases together, then the next quarter's Live phase starts automatically.
Before you start
Shows the join code, the live price ticker, everyone's net-worth chart, the current phase, and the host's Advance button. Nobody trades from here.
Shows your own monster, cash, and holdings, plus whatever the current phase needs from you — a trade panel, your private report, the card scanner, or the reveal feed.

Getting into the game
Every round
| Phase | What's happening | Can I do anything? |
|---|---|---|
| 📺 Live | Prices tick in real time on the shared board for the quarter's full length. | Just watch — no trading yet. |
| 📊 Quarter Report | Your phone privately shows how your net worth changed and why. | Read your own results — no one else sees them. |
| 🕶️ Blind Trade | Everyone buys and sells at once, at that quarter's closing price. | Trade freely — nobody can see anyone else's trades. |
| 🎴 Secret Scan | Each player plays one Action Card, by scanning its QR or typing its code. | Play a card — or hold it if you'd rather sit this round out. |
| 🎉 Grand Reveal | Every card played that round shows up together, in play order. | Just watch the chaos land. |
The deck
A 100-card deck of printable, poker-sized cards, each with a QR code and a 4-digit code. Play one per Secret Scan phase — some target yourself, some target a rival, some hit everyone.

Not every printed card is active yet — a few show "coming soon" when scanned. That's expected, not a mistake.
A faster way to start
Twelve legendary-investor "monster" portfolios, each pre-loaded with real stocks in a distinct style. New players can auto-invest their whole starting stake into one instead of picking stocks from scratch.
The finish
After the final quarter's Grand Reveal, the board and every phone show the Podium — ranked purely by ending net worth (cash plus whatever your holdings are worth). Top three get medals and confetti; everyone else is listed below by rank.
