Know Opportunity is created by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs.
See how a game can change your life.
Know Opportunity is for families, friends, home schoolers, college students and adults.
Now, more than ever, its time to rethink small business ownership and push past the traditional ideas of business plans and bank loans, brick and mortar shops and walk-in customers. The concepts of Know Opportunity are about creating a business that can be sustained from any location, connecting with people from other countries, and considering the possibilities of global commerce no matter how small an idea may be or when you get started.
Know Opportunity is a unique board game that engages young and old – moving through the ups and downs of early boot-strapping to the roller coaster ride that comes with the global marketplace. Know Opportunity teaches that the world is indeed a small community and opportunities are everywhere – if you know how to find them. This game has something for everyone....
STUDENTS
You probably don’t realize what you spend your free time on can be the foundation of a small business. Learn 21st century skills and turn your hobbies into career possibilities.
PARENTS
ADULTS
For those just starting their career, and especially in an uncertain economic climate, having adaptable skills is crucial to landing your dream job or starting your dream business.
You may not ever become an entrepreneur, but learning the fundamentals of entrepreneurship will help you be more effective in every area of your life!
Can This Help Me Get A Job?
That’s a pretty loaded question. We don’t claim this helps you get a job. But playing the game can help open your eyes to possibilities you’ve never considered. You’ll look at your relationships with friends differently, and see opportunity through a different lens. Plus, the game gets you comfortable with being uncomfortable.
WHY KNOW OPPORTUNITY?
True Entrepreneurship
There’s a better way to get kids to think big. 90% of the world’s buying power exists outside the U.S. If we’re going to teach entrepreneurship, shouldn’t we consider the global possibilities?
Financial Security
Have you thought about starting a side business to get you out of the paycheck-to-paycheck mentality? Does working for yourself seem more enjoyable than working for somebody else? What are you waiting for?
Global Network
Be you an extrovert or introvert, you’ve already made enough connections to tap into a profitable network. From social media to friends and family, you probably know more people in more places than you realize. Don’t underestimate what you can already leverage.
Fun For The Whole Crew
Homeschool Students

Homeschool Teachers
We’ve worked with many educators over the past few years to understand needs, frustrations, and challenges in the classroom. Our board game and curriculum can help address these issues.
Parents
Parents want the best for their kids, but in many cases, the school system doesn’t provide the true skills necessary for them to be competitive in the job market. Know Opportunity can help.
Adults
For those just starting their career, and especially in an uncertain economic climate, having adaptable skills is crucial to landing your dream career or starting your dream business.
Know Opportunity focuses on addressing the gap between contextualized learning and real world application of skills. Know Opportunity was originally developed as a “hands-on” learning experience, giving students a taste of entrepreneurship in the global marketplace. Prior to launch, we sent prototypes of the game to board game shops, individuals, high schools, youth groups and colleges throughout the US, as well as places like Trinidad, South Africa, Morocco, England, and The Netherlands and integrated content based on feedback from players, entrepreneurs and board game enthusiasts around the world.
Know Opportunity is available as a stand-alone board game or as an educational tool which includes a year-long curriculum (optional) with opportunities for expository writing (business plan development), economics based math (profit and loss tracking), public speaking (elevator pitches to mock investors) and general business skills.
Why You'll Love Know Opportunity
For At-Home Players
The game is set to be a standard price and ultimately works to expand your vision of what opportunity looks like. From social media to video gaming, we all have friends or connections overseas, but have you ever thought how you might work with that person? No board game can teach you everything there is to know about entrepreneurship, but the obstacles and rewards in the game are almost all taken from real-life scenarios, and the idea is to encourage players to think about building their ideal lifestyle, and to not be limited by geographic location. Global commerce is insanely easy to access, even for the leanest start-up. And this game will get you thinking how to be a part of global entrepreneurship.

How to play
The Know Opportunity game is a companion to a comprehensive entrepreneurship course that includes global entrepreneurship curriculum (36-weeks) and the board game which teaches the fundamentals of global business building.
The curriculum has been utilized in the traditional classroom setting but also for a whole array of fun, learning, hands-on programs that increase skills, enhance confidence and support an understanding of global business fundamentals.
