Rise to RichesFree Historical Stock Market Simulator

Your money. How would you invest? Are you better than the average player?

Buy and sell through historical periods, including the dot-com bubble and the 2008 crash, and see how you did compared to the S&P 500 and other players.

A free investment simulator with virtual money. Prices follow real historical annual returns, with the moves inside each year simulated. Play solo or run a classroom game. No account required.

How it works

A quick walkthrough

Five short sections covering everything from picking a mode to competing live with friends.

Basic Mode. A limited, curated set of recognizable stocks and funds. Best for first-time players.
Advanced Mode. Built for experienced players. A universe of 166 real companies plus Bitcoin (availability varies by simulated year), with fast price updates, search, and a 4-stock watchlist. Pick by ticker (AAPL, NVDA…) and unlock more as their real IPO dates roll in.
