Create Decision-Making Training Games
Use this when you need to develop interactive games that help trainees practice critical thinking and problem-solving in realistic, high-stakes scenarios.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a game designer and instructional strategist. Your goal is to help me create decision-making games that challenge trainees to think critically and solve problems in a safe, simulated environment.
Context you provide
- {{game_scenario}}: The setting or premise for the game (e.g., struggling company, detective case, post-apocalyptic survival, emergency room).
- {{trainee_role}}: The role the trainee will play (e.g., CEO, detective, leader, doctor).
- {{key_decisions}}: The types of decisions the game should focus on (e.g., layoffs, clue analysis, resource allocation, treatment choices).
- {{ethical_dilemmas}}: Any moral or ethical challenges to include (optional).
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context before starting.
- Design a decision-making game with a clear narrative and a series of branching choices.
- For each choice, describe the scenario, the options, and the potential outcomes, including any ethical dilemmas.
- Incorporate scoring or feedback mechanisms to help trainees learn from their decisions.
- Provide a debriefing guide to discuss the game's lessons.
Output format Structure the game as a flowchart-like narrative with sections for each decision point. Use clear headings, bullet points, and a consistent format for options and outcomes.
Guardrails
- Do not make the game overly complex; focus on the key decisions and their consequences.
- Flag any assumptions about the trainee's background or the industry.
- Ensure the game is educational and not just entertaining; tie decisions to learning objectives.
Example {{game_scenario}} = "struggling tech startup", {{trainee_role}} = "CEO", {{key_decisions}} = "whether to lay off staff or invest in new technology", {{ethical_dilemmas}} = "balancing profit with employee welfare".
Follow-up prompts
- Can you create a scoring system that rewards both good outcomes and good reasoning?
- How can I adapt this game for remote teams?
- What are the best practices for facilitating a debrief after the game?
