    Hi All,

    Is there a game, like a fantasy game, where one can learn about investing in shares etc.

    Someone mentioned before that having a virtual fund and using that is the best way to start! But is there an actual game (online or purchased) where one can do this?

    Saw a couple online, but from US...

    Cheers!

    The Share Centre do a good one at https://www.share.com/a/try-trading-now-practice-account.html (also this site http://www.tomwinnifrith.com/ does a free share tip every week too, I'm trying to pit myself against the "experts!")

    Hi OP, I just started using Share.Com based on reply above and find it good. Tidy profit already, just feel if it was real cash I wouldn't be so lucky. Look forward to checking it each day to see how it's going.  You get £15k practice money.
