You can find some games on the Quia website (search for “metric” for instance):

Most of the games have more to do with getting used to the metric system rather than converting from one to the other.

Among the exceptions, this one might be useful: http://www.quia.com/mc/65826.html

Question by Jeremy K: Is there an event marketing benchmark for customer conversion?
On average, what percent of attendees at an event are likely to purchase your product? For instance, I know that for direct mail typical response rate is around 1-2%.

It’s impossible to answer for the generic concept of an “event.”

If you’re referring to a home-show business, such as Tupperware, Pampered Palate, or Creative Memories, then it’s typical for 50% or more of attendees to make a purchase, but it depends greatly on the hostess (or host) and of course on the attendees and the products.

If the “event” is a booth at a local community fair, then you would usually be doing well to persuade 1% of the people who visit your booth to make a purchase.

There are a zillion different types of “events” that you might be referring to — if you are more specific, it would certainly help get a better answer.
