Game tools
Slides to host the game
The game host uses slides to control the game. The slides guide the players through the stages of the game. The slides are available as a PDF file and a Google presentation.
Bizplay gaming platform
The Bizplay gaming platform is a necessary tool for both the guide and the players. The main benefit for the guide is the game control panel, where they can change stages and monitor the progress of the game. In addition, the gaming platform also provides reports that give an overview of how much a company earned, and can be used to compare all companies. The players must sell their ideas to others. For more convenient transactions, the gaming platform has an online bank for players, where they can make bank transfers.
The game platform is accessible from game.bizplay.ee
Devices
The gaming platform is web-based and can be accessed from any device connected to the Internet. Preferably, the game manager and each player could have a personal device. Playing with a personal device makes the game smoother, as players can quickly make bank transfers. If necessary, the team can also play with one device.
Idea cards
The players come up with business ideas during the game. If the players do not have a good idea or do not want to use their ideas, the game host can give them idea cards. The idea cards contain ideas that add creativity to the game. The idea cards are available as a PDF file that can be printed out.
Sales accounting sheet
The sales accounting sheet is for players to keep track of what, how much, and at what price were sold. The paper sales record sheet creates a habit for players to keep sales records. The sales accounting sheets are available as a PDF file that can be printed out.
Pens and papers
The players also need paper and pens to play. Generating business ideas, selecting them, and devising a sales strategy is done in free form.
