The Horizon game
Is it possible to learn about economics and have fun at the same time? We think so. Horizon, our interactive game, takes participants on a thought experiment: What would happen if we abruptly removed all the basic building blocks of a modern economy? Would we then be able to work together to rebuild such an economy?
The Horizon game is based on the economics curriculum for upper secondary school and addresses general economic issues and Norges Bank’s roles and tasks. The game is aimed at upper secondary school pupils and university and college students, but also businesses and organisations.
