How should I set up the room for an online ecoCEO game?

  • Students play in teams of 2 (or individually). Each team has a computer/laptop with internet connection.
  • The teacher manages the game from their own computer. Optionally, the team progress overview and rankings can be shown on a projector screen (not required).
  • 1 up to 35 teams can play in a game session. However, an ideal group size would be about 5-12 teams per game session.

Can I add an extra team to a running game session?

No, you cannot. Ask the students to join an existing team. 

Can I remove a team from a running game session?

Yes, you can. If a team leaves mid-game, you must remove it from the overview list to allow the other teams to proceed after the intermediary breaks. Teams that have been removed cannot logon again.

Can I resume a previous game, or spread a game over multiple days?

Yes, you can. Game progress is logged continuously. When teams stop playing and login again at a later moment, the game will continue. They must use the same session-ID and (exactly!) the same team name.
You can reopen the teacher interface of the session in the session overview in your account (‘Active sessions’).

Can I run multiple ecoCEO games at the same time?

Yes, you can. You will get a different ID for each, but you can run them simultaneously in separate tabs. This is recommended if your play with larger groups.

What should I do when a team has left the game early?

If a team leaves mid-game, you must remove it from the overview list to allow the other teams to proceed after the intermediary breaks. Teams that have been removed cannot logon again.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

The game seems to stop or freeze on a student’s laptop! How to solve this?

  • Press >> to move to the next screen (on the bottom right corner)
  • If >>  does not work, refresh their browser and let them login again to the same session-ID with (exactly!) the same team name. The game will continue where it had frozen.
  • If refreshing does not solve the issue, restart the computer and try again using the same session-ID with (exactly!) the same team name.
  • If the problem persists, remove the team from the game session and let the students join another existing team.

I do not get a button to proceed after the breaks of round 4 and 8? What should I do?

  • Check in the session overview if all the teams have reached the break. If not, urge the lagging teams to continue playing until they reach the break.
  • If a team has quitted the game, you must also remove it from the overview list to allow the other teams to proceed after the intermediary breaks. Beware, removed teams cannot be re-added!
