About This Game

Welcome to "Hidden Champion" – the captivating game where you can conquer the world economy!

Dive into the world of "Hidden Champion" and become the conqueror of the global economy! Your goal is to achieve and maintain a worldwide market share of 75%. Are you ready to prove yourself as a true Hidden Champion?

Objective:

As a player, your mission is to conquer a market share of 75% and defend it for one month. You'll negotiate contracts, transport products, conduct marketing campaigns, expand locations, and manage your team wisely to achieve this ambitious goal.

Game Preparation:

Start the game by choosing your player character, who will accompany you through this exciting economic simulation. Decide on any city as your starting point from where you want to begin your journey towards building an economic empire. Keep an eye on the world map to make your strategic decisions.

Gameplay:

Embark on a quest to find cities where contract negotiations are offered. Travel with your player character to these cities to conduct negotiations in person and win the contracts. Ensure you come out victorious from the negotiations and then return to your home city.

Fulfill the contracts by delivering the required quantity of products to your contract partner's city. Choose the transportation type carefully: "Express" for quick delivery or "Regular" with the option for the shortest or fastest route. Once enough goods have arrived in the city, you can successfully conclude the contract.
No contracts available? Start a marketing campaign to increase the visibility of your company. You can choose between physical and digital campaigns, with physical campaigns having a local impact and digital campaigns reaching an international audience.

Expand your locations by constructing additional buildings in every city where your player character or a construction department employee is present. Use this opportunity to grow your locations and strengthen your company.

Hire additional employees and assign them to different departments to efficiently handle all tasks. Choose your team wisely and optimize it to maximize your chances of success.

Partial goals and tips will facilitate your path to success. Achieve them within a specific timeframe to progress and adapt your gameplay style. Always stay attentive and keep an eye on the map to avoid missing out on opportunities. Any unfulfilled task will be taken over by a competitor, reducing your market share in that region. Outperform your competitors to continue being successful.

Game End:

The game ends when you manage to reach a market share of 75% and maintain it for one month. Demonstrate your strategic skills and become the true Hidden Champion of the business world!

Are you ready to take on the challenge and dominate the global economy? Then embark on this adventure now and become the Hidden Champion! Good luck!
