Cozy Cup : a leadership & communication game

Learners step inside a lively café where communication choices, leadership responses, and employee dynamics shape outcomes over six immersive chapters.

Cozy Cup main gameplay: a learner makes a leadership communication decision in a busy café

About the simulation

Cozy Cup places learners in the role of a new team lead at a busy café. Across six chapters they navigate real workplace challenges: steering a team through the morning rush, handling social-media pressure, resolving interpersonal conflict, and deciding under uncertainty.

Each decision shapes team dynamics, customer outcomes, and the learner's leadership profile. The simulation tracks performance across six competency dimensions, including self-awareness, empathy, persuasion, and crisis communication, with chapter-by-chapter feedback and a final developmental report benchmarked against class averages.

Already run with 500+ students at a leading Caribbean university across OB, leadership communication, and HRM courses.

The OB Ward : a hospital that runs on behaviour

Players step inside Sunview Hospital and navigate six chapters of escalating scenarios, from diagnosing individual behaviour to leading through conflict, all mapped to the MARS model and core OB theory.

The OB Ward main gameplay: a player navigates a ward scenario at Sunview Hospital

About the simulation

The OB Ward places players in a series of workplace roles at Sunview Hospital. Across six interconnected chapters they navigate escalating challenges in individual behaviour, team dynamics, and leadership, all grounded in evidence-based organizational behaviour theory.

Every decision affects one or more of five MARS outcome dimensions: task performance, organizational citizenship behaviour, counterproductive work behaviour, absenteeism, and turnover intention. Chapter-by-chapter scores surface each player's applied OB decision-making for targeted feedback and rich debrief.

Designed for undergraduate and postgraduate OB courses and corporate L&D, it takes learners from individual behaviour theory through to conflict, negotiation, and leadership in one immersive arc.
