Buy! Sell! is a fast-paced multi-player stock trading game that uses analog telephones as game controllers. Watch a terminal full of charts, graphs and breaking news and make split second decisions to buy or sell stocks like, pizza, candy and gold. Dial the number for a stock and shout “Buy!” or “Sell!” into your phone before your competitors do. Their transactions will affect the stock price. The player with largest portfolio at the end of the trading day wins.
Buy! Sell! was developed by Matt and Lisa Bethancourt and Danny Rankin in the Whaaat!? Lab of the ATLAS Institute and was featured at the 2020 alt.ctrl.GDC, a coveted showcase of alternative game controller schemes and interactions.
