# Partybroker — Complete Product Information

> Real-time drink exchange platform for events. Drink prices rise and fall based on demand — like a stock exchange, but for your bar.

## Product Overview

Partybroker is a web-based platform that transforms any bar or event into a live drink exchange. The core mechanic: every drink purchase affects prices in real-time across all connected screens. When demand for a drink rises, its price increases. When demand shifts to other drinks, prices fall. At random intervals, a "market crash" event occurs — all prices simultaneously drop to their minimum values, creating a spectacle on every screen and a rush to the bar.

The platform requires no special hardware, no POS integration, and no technical expertise. Any device with a web browser can serve as a price display or barkeeper terminal. Setup takes approximately 3 minutes using a guided wizard with pre-built drink templates.

## The Crash Mechanic

The signature feature of Partybroker is the market crash:

1. During normal operation, prices fluctuate based on supply and demand
2. At configurable random intervals, a crash event is triggered
3. All screens simultaneously display a dramatic crash animation
4. All drink prices drop to their configured minimum values
5. This creates a rush to the bar as guests try to buy at the lowest prices
6. After the crash, normal price dynamics resume

The crash creates the peak moment of every event — guests watch screens, countdown together, and rush to order when it hits. It's designed to be a spectacle that people film and share.
