Welcome to the Emerald Forest Hotel!

This is the homepage of the Game called 04LV, October 2013. From this central point you can navigate to the pages with information you need. All blue links are clickable and will bring you to another page in the platform. For instance clicking on Photos and videos will jump to this page in the platform with photos and videos of the hotel. The navigation left-hand site will always stay active: and you can use back in your browser. But there is by now 3,946 pages in this platform, so if you're new first follow the steps later on on this page to prevent you from getting lost. All links which look like this: Hotel insights for 2013 will open a new tab in your browser and open the website of the link. So they go outside this platform.

August, 23th Saturday
  • Welcome on the platform Valmiera!

As you can see we are still preparing: so nothing is final yet. But, feel free to have a look around! There will be an information session approx. a week before the game week. Be sure to be available all during the game week, Monday 30th September - Friday 4th of October.

  • Check out the platform. The platform is opened, though not totally ready, so you can check it out! If things are final, you will read it here.
  • Questions on your team(members), study and schedules? Please check your staff in Valmiera.
  • Questions on the game? Try to find answers on the platform first (especially via Help and info pages on the hotel). Not found? Use the shoutbox in the left-hand menu or use Twitter (hashtag #04LV).

Your tasks during the entire game

There is a lot of information on this platform: don't get "killed by information": so do you do first? Do the tasks underneath on this page step by step. You can click on any blue link for more information on any page. Don't start doing so immediately, you might get lost ;-). Good luck!

The reception of Emerald Forest Hotel

Participating in the game means doing the next tasks:

  • tasks to be done before the game week starts (underneath)
  • tasks to be done during the game week to be found at 04LV Tasks and decisions, day by day.

Your tasks before the game week starts, so before 30th September

You will receive information from your coaches on:
> your teamnumber, the city your team is in and your teammembers
> your team's username and password for the platform to edit your teampage
> secret link to your private section where you input your decisions and can see your results. With this information you can start meeting with your team, dividing the tasks, checking out the platform etc. Make sure you have your team well organised and the tasks well divided.


During September 2013 (before the the game week, week 40) the next tasks must have been finished



  • Task 1: Meet with your teammembers

Plan meetings with your team in the weeks before the game week, to make preparations and plans for who is going to do what before this game week and during week 40. In this game week (week 40) all team members must be available all of the time. It is going to be busy but a very interesting week! Beware that the game week is from Monday the 30th September until the end of the day on Friday the 4th. of October.

  • Task 2: Study E-manual

Go to the top right-hand side of this page screen at "My Preferences" scroll a bit down until you see E-mail, E-mail options. Change this e-mail address in a real e-mail address of one of your teammembers use the save button at the bottom. This e-mail might comes handy in some cases. Do not change the password or anything else in this section
- Help on this: Help:How to change My preferences

Study the E-manual: here you will find what you need to read before taking any action. Look around a bit in this platform, so that you get a grip on what to find here and how it works. After this, you can use the Sandbox to practice. All teammembers can login using the same username: multiple users at the same time with the same login name is no problem. To just read the content of this platform you don't need to login at all, by the way (only if you want to edit).

  • Task 3: First actions

After reading, discuss your strategic plans with regard to the hotel and come to a conclusion. First have a look at the example page: page 04LV Example teampage. Then start filling out your own teampage: this has to be ready entirely on Monday 16.00. Have a look at the secure section using your private link and fill out your chosen hotelname there.


  • Task 4: Prepare Trade Fair

In the game week, your hotel will be presenting itself at a Trade Fair on Tuesday. So, before this week think this over and prepare for the Trade Fair: check this page for more information. This is an important meeting, one which will influence your success in the game. This offers you the opportunity to present your (new ideas on the) hotel. Be creative, and have a look at the pictures of Trade Fairs from competitions. All team members must participate in the Trade Fair.
To make your appearance at the Trade fair as useful as possible, your preparations on your teampage (task 3 and 5) must be ready (new, logo, slogan, introduction of new management).



Tasks during the game week 15, 30th September - 4th October



  • Task 5 to 10

On the page 04LV Tasks and decisions you can find all tasks which are to be done during the game week, day by day.
