What can the game do for you?

Taking over the Emerald Forest hotel and run it in the best possible way, that is the main intention of the project.
This means training management skills in coaching, education or training. The perfect way to get

  • more motivated staff
  • better trained staff
  • better learning results
  • work on creative solutions and try them out
  • work on teambuilding
  • practice or train specific items you put forth yourself and which can be used in the simulation

We have made a short video showing what the Emerald Forest Hotel can do for you:

What is it about?

The Emerald Forest in a simulation of a hotel which is as realistic as possible. We are using benchmarks from the industry and real life events to spice up the competition. We have seriously looked into a number of hotels as to find some kind of logic in how to get customers, but also paid special attention to realistic turnover and costs.
A few important elements, as shown in the promotion video, are:

  • the simulation is flexible
  • the whole simulation is internet based
  • it is very much linked to social media
  • the case is 90% real, but also virtual. The hotel exist, the Emerald Forest Hotel doesn't....
  • it is international and there is many benchmarks and points of reference
  • as all teams did start with the same situations you can learn and get inspired by the hundreds of other teams, competitions, cultures and countries.
  • is is based on two competitions: one on profit and creativity

We have some more information on the content of the game on this page.

Your school, institute or company?

As you are the experts in the branch we would like to invite you to participate in this simulation: a number of colleagues already did.
This can be by

  • evaluating teams

You are very much welcome to help evaluating the work done by the contesting teams, be member of the jury in any competition.

  • having staff of your company participating as a team

You can form a team (more teams) with your company -or maybe even be a team by yourself- and join in one of the competitions and experience the simulation yourself.

  • in-company training

The simulation could also be used for in-company training. As there is a lot of life activities we need to have close contact on this regarding the number of participants etc.

  • reviewing

We welcome any commend on the content of the simulation, the content and f.e. the ratios used in it.
