Welcome, broker. StockIT doesn't dump a textbook on you — it walks you through your first trades in about ten minutes. Here's what actually happens.
Step 1 — Open your office (fun). The game greets you with a simple fantasy: you opened your own brokerage office. The tutorial shows your home screen — holdings, stocks A/B/C with live charts, and the big GEN button. Touch-first, portrait, built for your phone.
Step 2 — Make your first trade (detective). Tap a stock. Watch the chart. When news pops up, ask: is this good, bad, or unclear? StockIT's opening lesson is the rule every broker remembers: Good news? Buy. Bad news? Sell. Not sure? Wait. You're already reading clues, not tapping randomly.
Step 3 — Press GEN (engaging). GEN spends energy to shake the market — maybe a dividend, maybe a rally, maybe chaos. Your job is to react. Get the direction right and the game rewards you; get it wrong and you feel it (safely). This is where StockIT stops being an idle clicker and starts feeling like a market.
Step 4 — Watch your portfolio grow (educational). Coins rise as your picks work. Soon you'll unlock the road map — levels like 3-2 that gate new tools. At level 5-1 comes the risk-reward bar; at 6-1, the diversification bar. The game teaches on a schedule so you're never overwhelmed.
Step 5 — Plan the next run. Check daily gifts, peek at tournaments, upgrade storage if you have gems. Sessions are short by design — perfect for a commute. When you close the app, progress waits for you. No FOMO, just a friendly "come back when you want another round."
