Outsmart the Market. Crush the Competition.
Bull Run is a stock trading strategy game where you compete against AI opponents with distinct personalities — solo or with up to 4 players in local multiplayer. Start with $10,000 in cash, trade across stocks, commodities, and crypto, and prove you're the smartest trader in the room.
Key Features
Dynamic Market Simulation
9 stocks across Tech, Auto, Retail, and Chips — plus GOLD, CORN commodities and volatile CRYP crypto. Prices react to news, sector rotation, and black swan events. No two games play the same.
7 Unique AI Opponents
Face off against Wolf (aggressive), Sage (conservative), Atlas (balanced), Trend (momentum), and Rebel (contrarian). Each AI adapts to market conditions and plays to win. Unlock two secret opponents by proving your skills. Play with 1–4 human players and 1 to 5 AI opponents per match.
Deep Trading Mechanics
Buy, sell, short, and cover. Manage your margin, watch for insider tips (but beware the SEC!), ride IPOs, survive margin calls, and collect dividends. Stocks can split, reverse-split, or get delisted entirely.
10 Campaign Scenarios
Hand-crafted challenges that teach you the ropes and test your limits. Survive a bear market, beat Wolf head-to-head, profit from short selling, trade only crypto, and more.
Market Events That Change Everything
Breaking news, market crashes, bull runs, black swan events (pandemics, wars, tech bubbles), crypto hacks, commodity weather events, and trading freezes keep every round unpredictable.

Choose from 3 perks — Analyst (preview next round's hot sector), Whale (better buy/sell prices), or Hedger (reduced margin requirements). Time your perk activation for maximum impact.
