You might ask yourself what is the difference between The CEO game and Miniconomy well there are few differences. The first difference is that in the CEO game the virtual economy takes the key role of the game unlike Miniconomy in which the game focus today is divided to other sides. The second difference is that we in the CEO game are investing a great effort to give an extra educational value to the game as we define ourselves as a serious game. Third Miniconomy as a Netherlands based company focused mainly on their local audience unlike the CEO game which tries to focus globally. The fourth difference is that we believe that in order to allow more educational and entertaining game The CEO game must be based on real world values such as real countries/cites , real currencies, bank systems , real events and so on , unlike Miniconomy which a created a virtual world with virtual values and real world connection.
