Tips for Success

To make the most of your Everest simulation experience, keep these tips in mind:

1. Before You Begin

• Coordinate with your team – All five members must be logged in and available at the same time.
• Join a group call or meet in person – Real-time communication is key to effective collaboration.
• Use only one browser tab – Access the simulation using Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge.
• Watch the tutorial – It will guide you through the interface, key features, and decision-making process.
  • The tutorial can be accessed when you first log in:
    

  • As well as anytime from the ellipses menu on the right side of your screen:
    

    

2. During the Simulation

• Understand your role – Know your responsibilities and how your choices impact the team.
• Use the first two rounds wisely – Familiarize yourself with the interface and establish communication with your team.
• Review Round Information carefully – Always check the day's details before making decisions.
• Keep track of decisions – Taking notes or using a whiteboard can help organize information and strategy.
• Double-check before submitting – Small errors can significantly impact the team's performance.

3. Team Play and Decision-Making

• Submit decisions each round – You may revise your choices until the team leader advances the simulation. Only the Leader can advance the simulation once everyone has submitted their decisions.
• If you do not submit in time – You will automatically move to the next camp.
• Use the chat feature – Communicate regularly with your teammates to align on decisions.
• Leverage the dashboard – Use the left-hand menu to navigate to essential information at any time.

4. Special Roles

• Although the simulation is designed for teams of five unique roles, sometimes the number of students in a class doesn’t divide evenly by five. In such cases, you might be assigned a Mirror Role or a Team Observer Role.

  • Mirror Role

    • If you're assigned a Mirror Role, you’ll be paired with someone in a main role (for example, a Mirror-Physician is paired with the Physician).

    • You’ll see exactly the same information as the main role.
    • However, you won’t be able to make or submit decisions on the Make Decisions screen.
    • Ideally, you and the main role player should work together to discuss and agree on choices. Only one person (the editor) can submit decisions.
  • Team Observer Role

    • If you’re a Team Observer, your job is to watch and analyze how your team works together.

    • Pay close attention to how decisions are made, how the team communicates, and how the leader guides the group.
    • Observe team dynamics closely. You may be asked to share your observations during the debrief at the end of the simulation, so stay engaged and take notes!

5. In Case of Rescue

• Remain engaged – If you are rescued, you can still contribute by advising and supporting your team.

Reminder: Clear communication, thoughtful planning, and active collaboration are essential for a successful climb.
