CompanyGame vs The Business School

CompanyGame provides business simulators for practicing management decisions in simulated company environments. Its learning platform combines course content, theory, and practice while tracking student competencies and progress. The six simulator categories are Business and Strategy, Marketing and Sales, Finance and Banking, Entrepreneurship, Business Transformation, and Hospitality and Services. Participants make decisions across company management areas and receive continuing access to updated company information, with consultant support. Difficulty ranges from level 1 for beginners to level 7 for advanced users, with audiences spanning upper-secondary learners through university and master's students. Simulations can be competitive or noncompetitive and run individually or in teams. Users can take part on a computer, phone, or tablet; the listed platforms are web, Android, and iOS. Custom courses can have schedules and durations adapted to client needs. Education licenses can be purchased per student for a simulator or through packages of three to five simulators for a set period. Teachers can register for free for selected simulators and demos, and may request free licenses subject to availability. CompanyGame is headquartered in Barcelona, Spain. Pricing is on request.

The Business School is a browser-based classroom simulation where student teams run rival firms in a shared market during one lesson. Teams decide prices, hiring, loans, VAT, crises, and deals, with the effects visible in the simulation. Each session supports 6 to 32 students across up to eight firms of three or four. Teachers can pause or resume phases, trigger a crisis, review firm activity, and display a live leaderboard. Students join using a six-digit PIN and a team label or first name, without student accounts or email addresses. They can download private reports, while the teacher receives a curriculum-mapped class report by email within 48 hours. Knowledge Check questions are listed for 23 business courses, including AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas, WJEC, Cambridge, BTEC, and IB courses. Session data is stored in an EU database in Frankfurt; the company says it does not sell data or use it for advertising, and teachers can end a session at any time. A free teacher demo is listed. School and trust licence prices are by quote after the pilot. The Autumn 2026 pilot cohort is full, with a waitlist open.
