The Freelance Game is a digital teaching aid programmed with artificial intelligence. It works, it is efficient, it is valued and tested. A simulator built on learning by doing. A perfect tool that prepares students for their working life. The teaching aid game is 5-6 times as efficient than traditional teaching aids. Especially adapted for educations in the area art and culture.

The Freelance Game does miracles with students and teens. They suddenly experience that their actions make a difference. For you as a teacher that means that you get engaged and motivated students or pupils who are eager to learn more. You get a lovely feeling and the ability to really make a difference as a teacher. Your students discuss in a new way when they have experience from the simulated reality in the game. Next step is to compare it to the reality that lies in front of them.

In The Freelance Game you play about balance, clients, contacts and reputation. You learn to understand the balance between income and expenses. You also learn the importance of clients, how you find clients and make them pleased. In the game you have an advanced calendar. It is important to keep track of time, deadlines, events and keep everything in phase. You also learn the importance of a personal network and that your own reputation is extremly important.
