Blackbox

Blackbox is a single-player trading game where three playing cards shape market prices. You start with 100,000 CREDITS and use BUY and SELL to trade, predicting whether prices will rise or fall. Read price movements, choose when to close your positions and work toward greater wealth and higher ranks.

Read the market

Positive and negative cards, poker hands and a JOKER that reverses scores all affect the market. Different combinations of three cards can cause dramatic price movements, but a strong poker hand does not guarantee a profitable trade. The same hand can produce different price directions and magnitudes depending on market conditions.

A mysterious, talkative black box may offer hidden clues about deck patterns or upcoming cards. Use its hints alongside three candlestick charts, which show different timeframes, to decide whether to trade or wait.

Manage your trades

Choose whether to lock in profits and leave or carry a position into the next round. Your trading multiplier changes with your performance and assets, increasing both potential profits and losses. Running out of funds ends your run, after which you can review your results and try to beat your personal best. Automatic take-profit and stop-loss orders manage trade exits.

Ranks and records

The game has eight progression ranks, from Beginner to God. It tracks your performance and personal bests, and provides three save slots. CREDITS are an in-game currency; the game does not involve real-money gambling, wagering or cash withdrawals.
