How it fits your week

Four steps, one class

Tap a step to see what happens.

01

Assign it as prep

Share a single access code by email or LMS. Students play the simulation self-paced, in 60–90 minutes, before they walk into class, with no setup on your end.

Takes 60–90 minutes
02

Students make the calls

Across six chapters they face realistic workplace dilemmas. Every decision shifts outcomes and scores so that the consequences feel real.

Six branching chapters
03

They reflect on it

Structured prompts, from basic recall to critical application, connect each choice to course theory. Use them graded or ungraded, with the rubrics provided.

Prompts & rubrics included
04

You debrief in class

Walk the cohort through key decision points with ready-made slides and class-level analytics, surfacing how different approaches led to different outcomes.

Ways to use it

Adapts to your format

Flipped classroom

One-class experiential activity

Assign the simulation as pre-class homework, then use the class period for a structured debrief: comparing decision patterns, surfacing different leadership approaches, and connecting back to theory.

Pre-class prepDebrief-led
Live session

Tutorial or lab activity

Run the simulation live in a tutorial or computer lab. Students play individually, then discuss their choices in small groups before a facilitator-led debrief.

In-sessionSmall groups
Graded coursework

Reflective assignment

Set the simulation with reflection questions as a graded individual assignment. Students submit reflections linking their gameplay choices to OB or leadership concepts, marked with the included rubric.

IndividualRubric provided
End of course

Capstone integration activity

Use near the end of a course to pull together the semester, asking students to identify the OB, leadership, and HRM concepts embedded in a single simulation.

IntegrativeCross-topic
Applied practice

Evidence-based management exercise

Frame the simulation as a lived example of evidence-based management, asking students whether their choices were grounded in research evidence, and what the alternatives were.

Leadership & communication

Every decision in the simulation is, at heart, a leadership-communication choice, making these an ideal fit for leadership courses at any level.

What's included

A complete toolkit with every simulation

Educator time is finite. Everything you need to assign, run, and assess ships with the game, so you can focus on the discussion, not the prep.

Step-by-step facilitation notes: how to assign it, what to expect, common student reactions, and how to run the debrief across different class formats.

A ready-to-use deck walking through key decision points, class data, and links to course concepts, designed to spark discussion, not deliver answers.

Reflection questions aligned to the learning outcomes, written at multiple depths, from recall to critical application, to suit a range of assignment formats.

Assessment criteria with descriptors at multiple performance levels, easily adapted to your institution's grading conventions.

Visual maps linking each gameplay dimension to specific theories and course topics, making alignment with your outcomes easy to demonstrate.

Individual developmental reports and class-level aggregate data to spot patterns, inform debriefs, and understand how your cohort decided.
