Face a realistic problem
A failed go-live, a breach on bid day, a procedure nobody follows. Each scenario starts from a kind of crisis that really happens.
What we make
Five games, and more ways to practice
Every activity is a task with a decision and a consequence, tied to a documented best practice.
One set of IP, four ways to play
Two formats, two audiences
The same fictional companies, crises and Database sit under everything we make. Organizations get the evidence and the debrief; players at home get the story.

Crisis & Response and its packs: quick, competitive and funny, for game nights and team socials.
Playtest 0.2How it works
Problem, decision, debrief
Make the call under pressure
Talk to colleagues, read what they send, and decide against the clock. The fast, confident option is usually the trap.
Debrief with the evidence
See the consequences, then the best practice behind each call, with its sources. Every learner leaves with a personal PDF report.
Debrief reportsA personal PDF for every learner, with their decisions and the practices behind them.
FacilitationSessions and workshops run with Third Person Consulting.
Custom scenariosYour roles, processes and failure patterns on the same engine.
An evidence-graded base1,516 practices and 355 standards behind every debrief, each with its sources.
Why it works
Our approachThe evidence, in plain language
Who it's for
Built for the people who build capability
Safety and construction teams
Construction, trades, facilities, manufacturing and health and safety leads. Practice the stop-work call, the pour, the evacuation and the handover, then see the OSHA rule or local code behind each one. Our largest set of scenarios.
Business teams
Leaders, managers, operations, finance and project teams: the people whose calls cost money when they go wrong. Practice the go/no-go, the escalation, the estimate, the vendor and the crisis, with debrief reports and facilitated sessions for whole departments.
Technology teams
IT, engineering, security and PMOs. Practice the AI rollout, the breach on bid day, the go/no-go call and the cutover weekend before the real one.
Privacy, legal and data teams
Data protection officers, legal, IT and marketing teams, and anyone who buys or builds with personal data. Practice the consent call, the breach clock, the access request and the transfer, then see the GDPR practice behind each one.
IT, security and compliance teams
IT leads, security and compliance staff, defence suppliers and anyone who signs a security questionnaire. Practice the incident bridge, the vendor login, the honest score and the build that might not be yours, then see the NIST practice behind each call.
