General
StockQuester is a stock market simulation game. You get virtual cash to buy and sell stocks, learn how the market works, and compete with other players. No real money is involved.
Yes, completely free. There are no hidden fees, subscriptions, or in-app purchases.
No. Everything on StockQuester uses virtual currency. You can't deposit, withdraw, or trade with real money. It's purely educational.
Not at all. StockQuester is built for beginners. There are tutorials that walk you through everything from making your first trade to building a diversified portfolio.
No. The companies and prices are fictional, but they behave like real stocks. Prices move daily based on simulated market events, news, and supply/demand. It's designed to feel realistic without tracking actual markets.
Getting Started
Create a free account, verify your email, and you're in. You'll start with a virtual cash balance that you can use to buy stocks right away.
Go to the Market page, pick a company, and hit Buy. Choose how many shares you want and confirm. That's it. Your shares show up in your portfolio instantly.
Your balance can get low if your stocks drop, but there are ways to earn more. Daily quests, the spin wheel, tutorials, and quizzes all reward you with virtual cash.
Features
Quests are challenges that earn you cash and XP. Daily quests reset every day (things like making a trade or reading a news article). Weekly quests are bigger challenges with bigger rewards.
XP (experience points) is earned from almost everything you do: trading, quests, tutorials, quizzes, and achievements. Earn enough XP and you level up, unlocking new trader titles for your profile.
Once a day you can spin a wheel for a chance to win bonus virtual cash. Your login streak multiplier boosts your rewards, so it pays to log in regularly.
The leaderboard ranks everyone by total portfolio value (cash + stock holdings). It updates regularly so you can see how your strategy compares to others.
You can set alerts on any stock for a target price. When the stock hits that price, you'll be notified. Handy for timing your buys and sells without constantly checking.
