Scenario Based Game - Style Savvy

Style Savvy - Scenerio based game

I decided to write about a game which is APP based as well as for game systems.  The game is called Style Savvy.  This game has the scenario embedded into the curriculum related material and the curriculum is running a clothing business.  The steps involve first starting out as an employee in a similar scenario.  The gamer then earns commission based on recommendations made to fabricated customers.  If the customers like the recommendations, they purchase the styles and eventually, if the right recommendations are made, they player earns enough money to open a salon of their own.  The challenges and responsibilities increase as they player moves from clerk to manager to owner and beyond.  Once the player becomes an owner then they have to consider cost of good sold when choosing what styles to stock, and they have to become more aware of the customers preferences and buying patterns.  The store becomes as exclusive as the player becomes more aware of what it takes to be successful.

There are many ways in which the content is delivered.  There are visuals that show the layout of the store and even requires the player to learn what placement sells the best.  The customers communicate their preferences via text bubbles after the initial recommendations, and there is music that provides continuity and flow so it is easy to relax within the game environment.  The goal of the game is to become a profitable salon owner with an established clientele and to be profitable enough to carry high end items.  The rules are that you must be frugal, understand your expenses, understand the elements of successful sales, and understand the clients.  I think this is a great entry level scenario based game that teaches the elements involved in business establishment.
