Set the price for your drink stand against the day's weather, watch the demand curve respond live, and hunt the price where profit peaks.
Was this fun?
How to play
Each day brings weather and a per-cup cost. As you slide the price, a live demand curve bends, raise the price and fewer cups sell, lower it and you move volume but thin your margin. A shaded box shows your revenue at the current price. Find the price that maximises profit, then open the stand to lock in the day's result.
Slide the price and read the demand curve react
The shaded box is revenue: price times cups sold
Account for the per-cup cost to maximise profit, not just revenue
Open the stand to settle the day and score
Controls
Desktop: drag the price slider, click Open the Stand to sell, or Hint for a nudge.
Phone & tablet: drag the slider and tap the buttons, touch friendly.
Game modes
Daily: the same seeded weather for everyone
Practice: fresh seeded days to experiment
Tips & strategy
Aim near the dashed marker where the revenue box is largest, then nudge a touch higher to cover your per-cup cost
Hot, busy weather shifts demand up, you can charge more before sales fall off
The profit-max price sits a little above the revenue-max price because each cup costs you to make
