Starting a micro business can be an exciting and rewarding journey—and there's no better way to experience it than by diving into the world of Garton Town. In this immersive simulation, you’ll step into the shoes of a small business owner by launching your very own fresh juice shop right in the heart of town. This interactive experience gives you a hands-on look at what it truly means to be an entrepreneur.

As the proud owner of a juice shop, you'll wear many hats and manage every aspect of your business. From accounting and resource management to production and customer satisfaction, you'll make real decisions that impact your success. You'll have the chance to grow your business, hire employees, design your menu, choose suppliers, and tackle financial planning—all while sharpening your entrepreneurial and financial skills.

This game is based on the well-established Business Games developed by the German Sparkassenstiftung für Internationale Kooperation (DSIK). With over two decades of proven success in financial education, these games have been used worldwide to teach valuable money management and business development skills. Funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), this digital version brings the same powerful learning experience directly to your screen—anytime, anywhere.

Life is full of choices—and many of them are financial. DSIK believes that individuals who understand how to make informed, balanced financial decisions are better equipped to improve both their personal and professional lives. By combining over 200 years of German savings bank expertise with modern financial literacy techniques, this game helps you build the confidence and knowledge needed to run a successful business.
