We help you doing it yourself
We have experience in setting up simulations like this . We could give a basic course in starting building simulation, setting up, basics on story-line, game mechanics, experiences with technics etc. If you are setting up something like this yourself, you will own it, never be depended on any game offered. A efficient start would require a course of 3 times 4 hours.
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.
