Game Goals

After spending some time with Economics 411 - you'll start to think differently about your own investments. Maybe you'll write to me in 20 years and tell me how it helped you in your investments. The game is a fun way to think about investments and learn about financial markets, and their reaction to changes. You don't need an MBA to enjoy Economics 411, but you may feel like you have one after playing, with the inside look it gives you into financial markets.

Development

As a CPA, I wanted something to illustrate to others how time and economic conditions affect investments.
Although Economics 411 is called a game - it's designed to stimulate thought about investing and your personal finances. It's to give some ideas, in a fun environment - about how financial markets and investments work.

Developer's story

Economics 411 ® was founded by Joseph Poff, CPA through his company Auburn Software, Inc. Joe has been a CPA since 1980 and a 50% partner in a Washington CPA firm (once the 13th largest in the Seattle area) for over 20 years - a position from which he recently retired.
Economics 411 has been a long time in the making. Development was delayed while he determined exactly how to define the processes and algorithms necessary as they were much more complex than he originally anticipated. After years of more thought, some technological advances and an overall increase in his knowledge - this - the initial version of Economics 411 has been launched.
