7 Business Essentials You Can Learn From An Adventure Game

Have you ever walked through an entire start-up lifecycle in the span of a few days? No, we are not going to tell you how quickly a business travelled from concept to success just because someone had the right kind of fire in the belly and then sold it off at a fancy price. Don’t expect an inspirational story this time for one simple reason. Delhi was freezing and so did the brain and a bunch of friends got hooked to a none-too-difficult planet adventure game that looked like promising pastime, at least till the sun came out. The good thing about the new game was it worked a lot like the legendary Farmville, which means you spend some pleasant hours, clicking around, exploring the alien planet island and building your base.

Did we say pleasant hours of gaming? That might be true for a casual gamer playing once or twice a week. But we did get addicted (that’s not surprising either, since most games are made that way to retain players) and after the initial frenzy to level up at any cost, suddenly noticed a lot of ‘business parallels’ that are entrenched in the game – the essential strategies every company needs to practise during the build-up. Here are 7 business fundamentals that ‘wannapreneurs’ may like to learn from this adventure game.
