Trade a market that isn't real. Learn instincts that are.

252 is a mobile game where you analyze virtual companies and trade on a market that reads like a real trading app — daily candlesticks, volume, moving averages, and a full 252-trading-day year to survive.

What you can do

Survive the 252-day challenge, then keep building in infinite mode.

76 fictional stocks

A wide market across sectors, indices, bonds, and commodities — every 60 real seconds is one trading day.

System trading, 17 indicators

Automate your strategy with RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic, and moving-average crossovers — a daily fee and trade commission apply while it runs.

1x–4x market speed

Speed the clock up to 4x, or skip ahead 1, 5, or 20 days at once — the game auto-pauses on major events for stocks you hold or watch.

Real trading mechanics

Buy and sell in whole shares, with fees and transaction tax applied like a real brokerage.

Infinite mode

Finish the 252-day challenge, then keep going — stocks, rental real estate, and land, with bank loans against your property as collateral.

FAQ

Is 252 using real stocks or real market data?

No. Every company, price, and event in 252 is fictional. It never uses real tickers or real market prices.

Does 252 involve real money?

No. All trading uses virtual currency only. 252 is a simulation game, not a trading or investment product.

Does 252 need an internet connection?

The core market simulation runs on your device and works offline. Online features — the global leaderboard, usage analytics, and crash reporting — need an internet connection when they run.

Is 252 available now?

Yes. 252 is available now on the App Store and Google Play.
