Run a lemonade stand from day one, hire and manage employees, and respond to real market events.
Ever wonder what it takes to run a real business? My First Biz drops you on a street corner with a cardboard box and a bag of lemons. Every decision is yours — and every decision matters.
This isn't a clicker. It's a full business simulation where you manage workers, react to surprise events, and learn real entrepreneurship — one day at a time.
WORKERS WITH PERSONALITY
Hire employees with unique names and personality traits — Reliable, Ambitious, Chill, or Eager. Each one affects morale, speed, and customer charm differently. Keep them happy or they'll demand raises, slack off, or quit. Train them up and watch them grow into your best asset.

RANDOM EVENTS EVERY DAY
A lemon shortage drives up prices. A block party floods your corner with customers. A road closure kills foot traffic. Over 20 surprise events keep every day unpredictable. Adapt your strategy on the fly or watch your profits disappear.

LOCATIONS TO UNLOCK
Start on a quiet suburban corner. Expand to City Park, Downtown, Beach Boardwalk, School District, Business Plaza, or the Shopping Mall. Each location has unique traffic patterns, rent costs, and customer expectations. Where you set up changes everything.
WEATHER CHANGES THE GAME
Sunny days bring crowds. Rain keeps people home. Heat melts your ice faster. Check the forecast every morning and plan your supplies, pricing, and recipe around it.
RECIPE & PRICING STRATEGY
Balance lemons, sugar, and ice to craft the perfect recipe. Set your price based on location, weather, and what customers will actually pay. Go too high and they walk. Go too low and you're leaving money on the table.
