Lemonade Stand is a time management game in which you have 30 days to make as much money as you can. You have total control over the business. You make the recipe, buy the ingredients, set the price and sell the lemonade; everything is in your hands. The following will tell you how to play Lemonade Stand.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Find the game. There are a couple sites in the resource section where you can play it online. Lemonade Tycoon is the same game and can be downloaded and played at your leisure.

  2. Step 2

    Start the game. Click the "Play" button to activate the game. You may need to click "OK" a few times before the game begins.

  3. Step 3

    Set the price and decide on a recipe. One will already be selected, but you can change this. Tweak it often so that you can find the best recipe for your customers. Depending on the temperature, you will want to frequently change the ice.

  4. Step 4

    Buy your supplies. Most of the supplies you buy--lemons, sugar and cups---will not go bad so you can get more than you need. Make sure you buy enough because you don't want to run out of supplies in the middle of a busy day. Be frugal with the ice because it will melt during the day. Even if you don't use it, the ice will be gone by the end of the business day.

  5. Step 5

    Begin the day. Observe the customers and their response to the lemonade. Make notes so you can change your recipe to their liking. At the end of the day, you will be given a review of how many customers you had, how many you could have had and what they think of your performance.

  6. Step 6

    Continue to play for 30 days and have your score posted. See if you make it to the top 10 for the day or for all time. Enjoy Lemonade Stand often. It's free.

Tips & Warnings
  • Change your recipe depending on the weather. If it is really hot, add more ice; on cool days reduce the ice.
