This paper proposes an applied and innovative methodology for the teaching of the discipline of Economic Policy in university degrees. On the one hand, the project helps to establish a clear difference not only in the content but also in the way in which the subjects of Macroeconomics and Economic Policy are taught. On the other hand, this training technique, based on gamification, is attractive to the student and promotes greater student participation in the learning process. It also facilitates the identification of theory with reality and promotes a series of skills in students, essential for improving their employability, which traditional teaching seems to leave aside.
