Use it every day
Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Beer Game multiplayer simulation is exactly what I needed, and works fully online with no installation. but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.
Use it every day

Compared a few options
Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: beer Game multiplayer simulation and good fit for both academic and corporate training. On balance the feature set — especially automated charts and post-game reports — justifies the 5 stars for our use case.
Solid for our team
We rolled this out across the team last quarter and ready-to-run versions of popular supply chain games. Automated charts and post-game reports fits neatly into how we already work, and remote and in-person session support removed a step we used to do by hand. Most value requires a skilled facilitator to debrief, which is the main caveat, but it has held up under daily use.
Does the job
Pretty happy overall. Automated charts and post-game reports just works and good fit for both academic and corporate training. Paid plans needed for larger groups or full features can be annoying, but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.
Q&A

Discover why companies prefer Zensimu over other online training tools for transforming their approach to supply chain challenges and lean manufacturing.
Asked by Wei Chen · Oct 7, 2025
Why is there a cost for using Zensimu's learning games?
We work hard to keep prices fair and affordable, balancing costs to ensure high-quality games, customer support, and continuous improvement. For just a bit more than the cost of a movie ticket per employee, your team can enjoy an impactful learning experience that builds lasting skills, boosts motivation, and strengthens teamwork.
Asked by Frank Müller · Sep 25, 2025
How many participants can connect to my games?
For our enterprise plans, we offer flexibility with large number of players that can join throughout the year. For conference plans, each new participant is counted the first time they connect to your games. This means that if you hold 2 sessions with 20 participants each, you would need a plan for 40 participants in total. A participant can play multiple rounds and will only be counted once, provided they use the same web browser.
Asked by Faisal Rahman · Sep 16, 2025
Do you offer discounts for educational institutions or large groups?
Yes, we offer substantial discounts—minimum 50%—to universities to support student learning. For our Conference Plans, we also provide degressive pricing based on the number of expected players, making it more affordable for larger groups.
Asked by Sanjay Gupta · Sep 17, 2025
What happens when the maximum number of participants is reached?
When you reach the maximum included in your plan, no more participants can connect. Another payment will then be needed for more players to join. If you need to play a trial game before your actual event, please contact us at support@zensimu.com .
