    Game Design & Teaching Model

The Game

Players test their team-based decision-making abilities within the safe environment of a game. They role-play, discuss, narrate, and make strategic decisions under uncertain conditions simulated by characters, traits, unforeseen events, team-communication, and time pressure.

Who can play?

Basically anyone with reading and comprehension skills can play. Although created for students of Entrepreneurship, it can be played by novices, experts, educators, entrepreneurs, or anyone who wants to kickstart their own project – for-profit, non-profit, or social.

Game context

Uncertainty integral to entrepreneurship

Successful entrepreneurs embrace it and are comfortable navigating it

Simulating uncertainty

Otherwise difficult to simulate in a classroom/meeting-room, this game simulates it

Team dynamics

Form teams and experience team-dynamics through assisted role-play

Steer, pivot, learn

Create a project, take decisions, learn from mistakes and quickly adapt to reduce uncertainty

Gameplay

Players go through a design thinking process from opportunity-search to value-creation . A team of 3-5 players cooperate to reduce uncertainty whilst also competing with other teams.

Winning condition

In contrast to many other games, a lower score leads you to success. In a multi-team setting, the team with the lowest uncertainty score wins.

Entrepreneurship is neither a science nor an art.
It is a practice.
Peter Drucker
