what we do
A workshop where theylive a whole life
We come to your project day and run a life simulation. Teams get a character, a paycheck and bills, and spend a few hours working out how to make ends meet. Every decision has a consequence.
Three to four hours, one whole life
No slide deck to sit through. Students work in teams, get their brief and start making decisions from the first minute.
Every team gets a character
A different salary, different commitments, a different starting line. Within minutes it is clear not everyone got the same deal.
Life starts throwing things at them
Rent, an instalment, a broken washing machine, a layoff. Every round forces a decision and they can't have everything.
At the end we add it up
We go through who ended up where and why. This is usually where the real lesson lands.
Why a game
They live it, not hear it
„Watch out for loans" lands on nobody. An instalment that eats half their paycheck in round five does.
Even the back row joins in
It's played in teams and there's something to win. Sitting it out isn't really an option.
More of it sticks
People remember their own decisions better than someone else's advice. And lessons can build on it afterwards.
What it takes
What does it cost?
Same as the talks. It depends on whether we already work together.
