We help you do it yourself

We have experience in setting up simulations like this. We could give a basic course in starting building simulation, setting up, basics of a 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. An 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 exists; the Emerald Forest Hotel doesn't...
  • It is international and there are 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 based on two competitions: one on profit and one on 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 to evaluate the work done by the contesting teams, be a member of the jury in any competition.

  • Having the 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 are a lot of life activities we need to have close contact on this regarding the number of participants etc.

  • Reviewing

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