Tips and Tricks

Ending Guide

Let's Explore Geography! includes several different endings students can obtain depending on their choices during the activity:

Neutral Ending

Last 30 days without obtaining any other ending, and end the game with a cash balance less than $1,020,000.

Good Ending

End the game after 30 days with at least $1,020,000 cash.

Short-Selling Master

End the game after 30 days with less than $50,000 total asset value.

Bankruptcy

Visit a hotel with a negative bank balance. (Note that you are unable to make commodities transactions if you don't have the required cash, so the easiest way to obtain this ending is to spend almost all of your money on commodities, then spend the rest at gas stations and hotels.)

Second Thoughts

Start a new game and immediately return home.

A Change in Pace

Stay in the same hotel several times in succession, without doing anything else in between.

Impaired Driving

Drive your truck for too long without sleeping. (The first time a player does this, they are pulled over by the police and receive a fine. If they do this a second time, the game ends.)

Stolen Truck

Run out of fuel while tired and attempt to walk down the highway looking for a gas station.

Iqaluit

Do the geocaching tour in Fredericton. Visit the Bear Necessities in High Level. Head to Inuvik and drive to the Arctic Circle.
