About the Game

A long-term investment simulation spanning from 1996 to the present

Apes Ticker uses virtual data modeled on historical market flows, allowing you to directly experience market fluctuations while enjoying the challenge of investment strategies.

Everyday decisions affect not only your assets but also your lifestyle and condition, demanding both long-term vision and moment-to-moment choices.

Game Overview

You begin as a novice investor in 1996. Study and trade across diverse asset classes—stocks, foreign exchange, commodities, and real estate.

Secure extra cash through part-time jobs when needed, or rely on the advice of fund managers to make bold decisions.

But beware: overwork raises stress, which may require hospital visits. Proper rest and travel become essential factors for long-term success.

Key Features

  • Historical events and cycles are reflected as price fluctuations, offering the thrill of reading capital flows through chart analysis.

      

  • Advance the calendar one day at a time, balancing trading, analysis, rest, and part-time work. Your allocation of time and capital will shape your cumulative returns.

 

  • Go beyond stock trading—explore currency fluctuations, bulk commodity trades, and real estate flipping or rental to diversify your portfolio.

 

  • Buy and sell houses for capital gains, or establish stable cash flow through rentals.

    Enhance properties with better furnishings to increase rental income.

 

  • Consult experts or entrust your funds for management. High returns may await, but so do risks—requiring a balance between caution and boldness.

 

  • Part-time jobs provide safety funds, but overwork harms your condition. Stress buildup may require hospital visits, while timely vacations can sometimes be the best “investment” of all.

 

Apes Ticker is inspired by historical market flows, allowing you to experience the mindset and routine of long-term investors.

Ride the waves of the market while managing your lifestyle and condition, and feel the power of compounding over time.

Starting in 1996 and continuing to the present, the process of designing and growing your portfolio with your own strategy is the core thrill of this game.

 

Recommended Players

  • Those who want to experience an investment simulation inspired by historical markets

  • Players who wish to expand their portfolio beyond stocks into forex, commodities, and real estate

  • Anyone who enjoys combining lifestyle/resource management with long-term strategic planning

Start in the past, live through the present, and design your future. Your time is your capital.
