What is Climb From Zero?
Climb From Zero is a crypto trading simulator with a story: real Bitcoin and Ethereum prices, fake money, and a mentor who never gives tips. You start at 21 with $100 found in your grandmother’s coat, learn from Robin in 37 short lessons, practise on real market history, and trade live Bitcoin and Ethereum prices with the game’s money, climbing through a story with no deadlines.
Do I need real money to play?
No. The $100 you start with is game money, found in the story. You never deposit anything, nothing in the game is real money or real cryptocurrency, and nothing can be won. Climb Pro is an optional subscription, and the start of the climb is free without it.
Is it real money?
No. Every dollar in the game is pretend, and the game never connects to an exchange, a wallet or a broker. The prices are real, the money is not. Nothing you do in the game can win or lose real money, and nothing in it is financial advice.
What does it teach?
37 short lessons in 8 tracks: Foundations (markets, candles, levels, indicators, orders, position size), Risk and money, The crypto world (including how to spot scams), Trading psychology, Reading the market, Leverage explained, Strategies, and Money outside the charts. Every lesson ends with a quiz, and Robin explains with real charts and pictures.
What is free, and what does Climb Pro cost?
Free: the prologue, Chapter 1, and live trading with your $100 of game money until your account reaches $150 (about the first week). Free always: Foundations and the scam-safety lessons, today’s practice round, 3 blind replay rounds a day, the first two history challenges, quick drills, the Library and three of Robin’s trade reviews. Climb Pro is the rest of the climb: trading past $150 and the story to the end, all 37 lessons, unlimited practice, every history challenge, leverage practice, Robin’s review of every trade and the desk’s chart drawing tools, for $49.99 a year (with a 7-day free trial) or $7.99 a month, billed through the App Store or Google Play. If you stop, your open trades keep running and everything you did stays.
Can I buy my way up?
No. There are no ads, no boosts and no way to buy money, XP or progress. Every dollar you climb is earned by trading well and keeping your own rules. Climb Pro opens more of the story and the course; it never moves the climb for you.
Will it make me ready to trade with real money?
It will teach you what most beginners learn the hard way: a plan before every trade, a stop you set while calm, sizing so one loss can’t sink you, and the habit of reviewing your trades. Results with fake money don’t predict results with real money, so treat the game as practice, not proof, and never trade money you can’t afford to lose.
What is the desk?
The same game on a computer. Buy a laptop in the game and your desk opens in any web browser: a big live chart, the order ticket beside it, your journal and your story, all the same account as your phone. With Climb Pro you can draw on the desk’s chart (trend lines, zones, Fibonacci, notes and a risk box), and your drawings show on your phone.
Who is Robin, and what are Robin’s reviews?
Robin is your mentor in the story. Ask Robin about a closed trade and the game measures what you could have known when you entered: where your stop sat against support and resistance, how far that was in ATRs, your size against your own rules. Robin then reviews it in plain words, and can look for habits across your last 20 trades. The reviews are written by AI (Google’s Gemini) from those numbers. Robin never gives tips or tells you what to buy.
When can I play?
Soon on iPhone (App Store) and Android (Google Play). The game is in final testing; this page will link to both stores as soon as the listings are live.
