Looking for earning opportunities for a fun project I built

Hey everyone,
I started a small online simulator game just for fun — it’s called FakeSpending (https://fakespending.com/
). The idea was to let users play with virtual money and see how spending habits affect their balance.

Now that it’s getting some organic visitors, I’m wondering how I can turn it into something that earns on its own. I don’t want to ruin the fun experience with too many ads, but I’d like to make it sustainable.

What are some good earning strategies for a simple, interactive game like this? Should I look into ads, sponsorships, premium features, or something else?

Would really appreciate your advice from a business and growth point of view.
