GAME MODES
SOLO PLAY
Playing with yourself? We’re ok with it this time. Deal your 5 cards and build the scene.
Think through:
- The best and worst case scenarios
- Each sector’s role and recommendations
- What you’d need to solve the problem
GROUP PLAY
Designate one player as the Game Master. The Game Master’s role is to:
- Use imagination to bring the scenario to life
- Role-play as needed (e.g., 911 caller, facility staff, angry neighbor)
Divide remaining players into sector roles. One or more per player depending on group size.
Once roles are assigned:
- Deal the cards
- Build the scenario
- Have each sector develop their piece of a response plan
- Finish with a “Hazmat Huddle” where all sectors present their plans
Afterwards, debrief:
- What went well?
- What would you change?
- Can you defend your decisions?
EXAMPLE SCENARIO
HOW TO WIN
Articulate a full plan of action in order to assess, identify, and resolve the hazmat scenario at hand. Other players/teams must agree on your proposed response plan.
HOW TO LOSE
If you misidentify a material, exclude a variable, or if another player/team is able to argue against your plan of action, consider yourself the loser. Keep playing.
