                 Friday Night at the ED – A Team Learning Simulation Game
               Friday Night is an internationally acclaimed game simulation that challenges teams to manage patient flow in
               a busy fictional hospital during a 24-hour period. Each simulated hour, patients arrive, transfer between
               departments  and  exit.  Department  managers  complete  tasks,  manage  resources,  make  decisions  and
               document results. They are pressured by time limits, quality and cost measures and interactions with peers.

               The activity simulates the flow of people or goods through parts of an organization. It feels “frighteningly
               real,” as one CEO put it, yet people enjoy the experience. The gameplay is highly engaging and teams are
               motivated to perform well.

               Team dynamics at each table will vary, while the overall spirit in the room is lively. Group sessions may range
               from 4 to several hundred participants.
