Playtest 1: Crisis Management Scenarios

Organize a video meeting with your playtest group. Before your playtest:

Familiarize Yourself with the Crisis Management Workshop. In preparation for your first session, familiarize yourself with the “Crisis Management Workshop from Living Games 2016.” We recommend reading Page 7 carefully before the session for best practices.

During Playtest 1 — Crisis Management Scenarios: Choose at least four (4) scenarios to play with your Playtest group. Make sure to thoroughly debrief each experience.

After you conclude the scenarios, schedule Playtest 2, which should take place during Unit 5. Check the schedule for more information.
