Startup learning game resources
Nine Lives Studio offers startup learning game resources for educators, facilitators, program teams and founders. The goal is to help you choose a format that matches the learner, the session length and the decision you want to teach.
Resource paths
Lesson planner
Use the planner when you need a practical teaching or workshop structure with a goal, game mechanic, team task, feedback moment and debrief.
Format selection
Use a short decision path when you are comparing worksheets, board-style exercises, live workshops, online simulations and full startup games.
Fe/male Switch App
Use Fe/male Switch App when the learner wants to play through a full women-first startup game experience.
Pick the format by learning job
A useful startup learning game starts with the job it should do. Then the format can follow.
Use a short classroom activity so learners can compare decisions quickly.
Use the lesson planner so the facilitator gets structure before running the session.
Use a decision exercise where constraints make choices visible.
Use Fe/male Switch App when the user wants a product experience.
What the resources avoid
Nine Lives Studio avoids shallow gamification claims. A useful entrepreneurship game does not promise startup success. It creates better practice conditions: clear constraints, real tradeoffs, feedback and reflection.
