TRADLE: The Trade Challenge

Return to the #111 Newsletter


Are you a trade expert? Tradle challenges you to guess which country exports the products shown. You have six chances to get it right! After each guess, Tradle tells you the distance and direction between your guess and the correct country, giving you clues to zero in on your target.

Every day, you’ll see a new set of export categories from a different country. Once you’ve guessed, you can click on “View on the OEC” to see an overview of that country’s trade.

Hosted by the Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC), Tradle turns trade data into a daily puzzle powered by real global trade statistics. Behind the fun, it’s a great way to discover what drives different economies, and maybe learn a surprising fact or two about global exports.

Play, learn, and explore the world economy!
