Every variable is yours
Nothing here is a static diagram with a play button. Change the inputs and the outcome re-renders under your hand β which is how intuition gets built instead of trivia.
Play2Lrn turns the concepts that never quite stick β ad auctions, projectile motion, search intent β into simulations you can drag, break and replay. Move one control and the idea explains itself.
No card Β· nothing to install Β· 11 categories and growing
Drag a slider. Notice you now know why 45Β° goes furthest without anyone telling you.
Concepts you can play with include Ad Rank, Quality Score, Projectile motion, Search intent, Gradient descent, Second-price auctions, Overfitting, Terminal velocity, Attribution windows, Titration curves, Neural nets, Conversion lag.
New simulations land regularly β search or filter by category to find one.
This simulation helps you to understand what are the technical and non-technical factors when doing email marketing that can impact the delivery of your email into spam or bring down the reputation of your domain from which the email is being sent
Play with itThis interactive demo helps you to understand what are the different levers or variables related to a website for onpage, offpage and technical SEO that can impact its position in the search engine result page.
Play with itThis simulation lets you understand how running the same ad to a small audience over a period of time can lead to ad fatigue and higher cost per conversion. It also helps you to understand the relation between brand recall, conversions, and cost per conversion.

Play with itThe attribution modeler helps you to understand the credit distribution across the different marketing channels when using different attribution models
Play with itThe Ecomm Funnel Simulator helps you to visualize how your revenue may change depending on the conversions happening at different stages of the user's journey when purchasing a product online.
Play with itThis interactive demo shows how customer acquisition cost and lifetime value of a product can interact with each other and how sometimes a profitable product may also lead to bankruptcy.

Play with itYou type a sentence, and based on specific words which are highlighted below, the tool tries to determine what the searcher intent is from one of the four displayed
Play with itUnderstanding arrives when you can predict what happens next. That only comes from turning the knob yourself and being wrong a few times.
Nothing here is a static diagram with a play button. Change the inputs and the outcome re-renders under your hand β which is how intuition gets built instead of trivia.
No installs, no lab kit, no downloading a 400 MB simulator. Every simulation runs in the browser and resizes to whatever screen you opened it on.
Search ad auctions sit next to projectile motion. If a concept is easier to feel than to read about, it belongs in the library β whatever field it came from.
Clean enough to project in a classroom or drop into a client call, and quick enough that nobody is watching a spinner while you explain the setup.
Filter by category, or just scan for the concept you've quietly been nodding along to for years.
Drag, launch, mix, bid. There is no wrong input β the wrong inputs are where most of the learning is.
The moment the output changes with your hand on the control is the moment it stops being something you memorized.
No credit card. No countdown timer in the corner. Create a free account, open anything on the shelf, and keep playing for as long as the beta is open. Paid plans come later, and we'll say so well before they do.
No. Browsing the library and reading what each simulation covers is open to everyone. You need a free account to actually run one β that's how we keep them stable and work out what to build next.
The full library is open for the duration of the beta. When paid plans arrive we'll announce them well in advance rather than switching anything off overnight.
They run in any modern browser and scale to the screen. The denser ones β anything with several controls at once β are considerably happier on a laptop or a projector.
Yes. Project them, share the link, or hand the controls to whoever you're explaining it to. Letting someone else drive is usually the fastest route to the penny dropping.
