AI Don't Fix Stupidity — the Game

You are Elena Lindqvist, VP of Operations at Norvik — a Nordic furniture retailer with 12,000 employees, 340 stores and margins squeezed from both sides. The CEO wants you AI-first. You have twelve weeks.

A management simulation drawn from the book, not invented for it. Part 1 supplies the campaign; Part 2 supplies the mechanics.

What it does

Twelve weeks to make Norvik AI-first. A competitor has already started.

01

The premise

Hemvik, a 50-engineer AI-native competitor, tripled conversion and lifted average order value 40% — built in twelve weeks on a technology layer that did not exist when Norvik’s architecture was designed. They are the clock.

02

You cannot buy your way out

Procurement does not win this. You win by changing how the organisation works before the market changes it for you — and the simulation scores you on exactly that.

03

Drawn from the book

Every mechanic traces to the manuscript. The campaign is Part 1 (the novel); the systems underneath are Part 2 (the playbook).

04

Decisions with consequences

Choices compound across the twelve weeks. The ending you get is the one your decisions earned, not one of three canned outcomes.

05

On-device reasoning

Characters respond through Apple Intelligence on the phone. Nothing you say to them is sent anywhere.

06

No account, no server

There is nothing to register for and no backend to hold your save. Everything you do stays on the iPhone.

07

Plays in short sessions

Built for a commute, not an evening.

Questions

Before you ask

Do I need to have read the book?

No. The game tells its own story. Readers will recognise Norvik and Elena; everyone else just plays.

Is this the same as the AI Don’t Fix Stupidity app?

No — that one is the book companion with the chapters, assessment and ninety-day plan. This is the simulation. They share a world, not a codebase.
