Lemonade Stand

Lemonade Stand is a small economics puzzle wearing a cooking-game costume. Each morning you buy cups, lemons, sugar and ice, decide how strong and how sweet the recipe should be, and set a price. The weather report is the variable that makes it a game: a hot day supports a higher price and more ice, a cool one punishes both. You run 7, 14 or 30 days and the final total is your score.

This title is best suited to players who enjoy small business and pricing simulations.

1. Check the weather forecast for the day
2. Buy cups, lemons, sugar and ice to suit it
3. Set the recipe strength and sweetness
4. Set your price and open the stand

• Tap / click: Buy supplies and adjust recipe sliders
• Price control: Set the day's selling price

Objectives

• Make as much money as possible over the run
• Match your recipe to the day's weather
• Beat your previous total

The run ends or fails when

• Running out of money to buy supplies ends the run

• Daily buy-and-sell cycle
• Weather-dependent demand
• Recipe and price tuning

• Raise the price on hot days before you raise the ice
• Buy slightly less stock than a hot forecast suggests, since leftovers cost you
• Write your total down and change one variable on the next run
