Your Customers. Your Universe. A Game That Keeps Them Coming Back.

What Is Trade Empires?

Trade Empires gives your business its own persistent multiplayer galaxy—a private game world where your customers can explore, trade, compete, cooperate, and build empires together.

Unlike trivia, bingo, or other scheduled entertainment, Trade Empires doesn't require everyone to play at the same time. Players receive a limited number of turns and use them whenever they want. One customer might play during lunch, another that evening, and another the following morning.

When they leave, the game doesn't stop.

Their ships, credits, planets, discoveries, alliances, enemies, and accomplishments remain. Other customers continue making moves, markets change, territory changes hands, and the galaxy evolves.

Tomorrow, players come back to find out what happened—and decide what they're going to do next.

And this isn't a public game filled with random players from around the internet.

It's your universe, populated by your customers.

That makes Trade Empires more than another game in your entertainment lineup. It gives your customers a shared world that can become part of the identity and community surrounding your business.

What This Does for Your Business

Turn Entertainment Into Customer Retention

Most entertainment is designed around a visit. Customers arrive, play, have fun, and go home.

Trade Empires gives that experience continuity.

Customers can keep playing from home, work, or their phone and have a reason to check back tomorrow. Your venue remains connected to an experience they're actively participating in—even when they're not physically there.

Give Customers Another Reason to Return

Connect activity inside your business directly to progress inside the game.

Create QR reward codes for in-game credits and distribute them however you choose.

• Buy dinner → earn Galactic Credits.
• Visit on Tuesday → get a bonus.
• Attend trivia night → receive an in-game reward.
• Complete a promotion → strengthen your empire.

Instead of simply offering a discount, you're giving customers something valuable in a game they're already invested in.

Build a Community Around Your Business

Your customers aren't competing against anonymous players on the other side of the world.

They're competing against each other.

Regular customers begin recognizing player names. Corporations and alliances form. Rivalries develop. Players compete for rankings, wealth, planets, and influence.

That online competition can spill back into the real venue.

The player who's been attacking someone's empire all week might turn out to be sitting three seats away at the bar.

Turn Your Galaxy Into a Promotional Channel

Hide offers, messages, clues, rewards, and promotions throughout your universe.

A customer exploring a distant sector might suddenly discover:

You've intercepted a secret transmission! Show this message at the bar tonight for a special offer.

Now simply exploring the galaxy can give that customer a reason to visit your business.

Put Your Advertising in Space

Place virtual billboards directly inside the galaxy.

Customers encounter them naturally while traveling between sectors. Use them to advertise specials, events, menu items, promotions, sponsors, or anything else you'd like your players to see.

For entertainment centers and other high-traffic venues, they can even create an entirely new sponsorship opportunity.

Your local sponsor doesn't just get a banner ad. They can get a billboard floating in space.

Keep Customers Engaged Without Running Another Event

Trade Empires doesn't require a host to run a scheduled two-hour game.

Once your universe is running, customers play asynchronously on their own schedules.

That means your business can provide an ongoing entertainment experience 24 hours a day without hosting a 24-hour event.

Connect It With the Rest of Gig Game

Trade Empires can become part of your larger entertainment strategy.

Award Galactic Credits to trivia winners. Put reward codes on receipts. Hide codes in scavenger hunts. Run special promotions. Display the galaxy's leaders on your TVs.

Your other activities can feed into the same persistent customer experience.

Gameplay

Every player begins as the captain of a starship with a limited amount of money and resources.

From there, what they become is up to them.

Players navigate a large interconnected galaxy one sector at a time, gradually discovering what lies beyond known space. Some sectors contain trading ports. Others contain planets, other players, opportunities, threats, or secrets.

Trading is at the heart of building wealth. Players discover where commodities are being bought and sold, purchase cargo at favorable prices, transport it across the galaxy, negotiate deals, and look for opportunities to turn a profit.

As their wealth grows, so do their options.

They can purchase better ships, explore farther, establish colonies, develop planets, build defenses, join corporations, hunt wanted players, collect bounties, or compete to become one of the most powerful captains in the galaxy.

And because everyone shares the same universe, other customers are changing the world around them.

A profitable trade route someone discovers today may look very different tomorrow. A previously unknown planet may have been claimed. Another corporation may be expanding into their territory. Someone may have overtaken them on the leaderboard.

Players have a limited number of turns, so every action matters.

Do they spend today's turns making money?

Explore deeper into unknown space?

Develop their planets?

Track down another player?

Or save resources for something bigger?

Then tomorrow brings more turns—and another opportunity to expand their empire.

No scheduled game. No requirement that everyone be online. Just an evolving galaxy that's there whenever they're ready to make their next move.

The Game Night Ends. The Galaxy Doesn't.

Trivia gives customers a reason to come in tonight. Bingo entertains them while they're there.

Trade Empires gives them something to think about tomorrow.

They check their ship. Spend their new turns. Make another trade. Discover another planet. Check the leaderboard. Find out what their rivals did while they were away.

And perhaps they discover that their next advantage is waiting for them back at your venue.

Your business isn't simply hosting another game. It's hosting a universe.
