A live negotiation simulation where candidates, managers, HR, and friends each play a distinct role. Different goals. Shared stakes. One outcome.
The Setup
Each player is assigned a secret role with private goals and constraints only they can see. They interact face-to-face. The app is their playbook.
Working toward the best possible offer on salary, remote flexibility, and more. They know what they want. Getting it is the challenge.
Working to bring the right person on board. Submits offers to HR and negotiates within their means. Closing the deal is the job.
Every offer goes through HR for review. They approve, counter, or push back. The numbers have to work.
Connected to the candidates and to one another. They listen, advise, and trade information. What they choose to share can shift everything.
Learning Outcomes
The game puts real pressure on people. Hidden information, genuine trade-offs, and a clock running. Debrief conversations are rich because everyone experienced something different.
Players who know their priorities and walk-away point before the conversation close better deals.
The deals that stick come from understanding what the other side actually values, not just what they asked for.
Different roles have different incentives. How teams coordinate across those gaps shapes every outcome.
Everyone has private information. What to share, when to share it, and with whom is half the game.
Same role, same situation, different results. The variable is always how people listen, ask questions, and frame what they want.
Set up a session in under 2 minutes. Enter player names, share the links, and start the timer.
