GoVenture World is ideal for:

People interested in business and economics and gaining authentic entrepreneurship and financial literacy skills.
Casual gamers who are looking for a more fulfilling and meaningful experience than they are getting from current action, puzzle, and sim games.
Social gamers who are looking for a deeper collaborative, competitive, and long-term experience than they are getting from current games that are more shallow in their social interaction.
Hardcore gamers interested in an ongoing epic experience that does not require many hours of game play each week just to keep up with friends and competitors.
Educators seeking an engaging and realistic training tool that delivers real-time and authentic performance evaluation.

Unique

GoVenture World introduces new patent-pending innovations and leverages the success of popular game mechanics. By uniquely combining proven gameplay with new innovations, GoVenture World provides an experience that:

Is accessible on common desktop and mobile devices.
Continues to engage over a long period of time.
Is always evolving whether players are logged in or not.
Does not require a high commitment of dedicated play time to keep up.

Becomes integrated into daily life through micro-interactions rather than require hours of dedicated focus.
Is deeply social in its collaboration and competition.
Integrates all players into the same world.
Includes on-demand, in-game minicourses.

Includes minigames that directly contribute to the success of the overall game.
Delivers authentic experience that helps people succeed in career and life.

game-based
experience-building
live role playing
supplemented with micro-learning opportunities

Your Resume

“The world is virtual
but the experience is real.”

GoVenture World may be the only game you might ever consider including on your resume (unless you are looking for a job in the gaming industry that is).

GoVenture World provides you with real experience in a virtual world. This experience truly sets you apart from others who have never run a real or virtual business.

Consider including text similar to this on your personal resume:

Successful business people suggest that nothing beats experience.

It’s realistic and authentic learning. The entrepreneurial skills and experience I’m gaining in GoVenture World are truly preparing me for career and life success.
