Challenge FAQ

Pet store simulator challenge modes

What changes in Easy, Standard, and Hard?

Easy lowers the net-worth goal and gives demand/cost help. Standard keeps the normal model. Hard starts with less cash, higher costs, weaker demand, and a higher target.

Where is my personal best saved?

Your best result is saved only in this browser using localStorage. There are no accounts or server saves.

What decisions matter most?

Watch inventory health, pet welfare, habitat cleanliness, grooming quality, and staffing before adding services or running discount campaigns.

Can I download my pet store results?

Yes. Open the results screen and choose “Download results CSV.” The local file contains completed monthly evidence plus the current partial month, including settings, staffing, demand, retail and grooming activity, care measures, costs, profit, cash, and net worth. Nothing is uploaded.

Keep learning Test your assumptions with our interactive tools: quantify margins in the Open-to-Buy (OTB) Merchandising Lab or model operational bottlenecks in the Sell-Through Rate Lab.
