It is a free training game for project managers. You spend one working day as the project manager of a mid-rise building. The phone rings on two lines, people knock on the door, the radio calls, your mobile buzzes and the inbox keeps filling up. You decide what to handle now, what can wait, what to delegate and what you must never ignore.
The day is connected. A decision at 8 AM can come back at 11 AM as a new problem, or as a problem you prevented. At the end you get a coaching report that shows how your decisions shaped the day.
Choose a shift length (10 minutes, 30 minutes or 1 hour) and a training level, from New Project Manager to Crisis Management. Put on headphones, because the characters talk to you out loud. Click the phone, the door, the radio, your mobile or the computer, and choose your answer. Watch the four meters: schedule, budget, safety and trust. When the shift ends, read your report and try again at the same or a higher level.
The PMP exam asks what a project manager should do in difficult situations. The simulator trains the same habits: understand the situation before acting, deal with safety first, talk to people directly, delegate with clear instructions and use the proper process for changes. For exam practice, see the free PMP exam questions and the exam guides.
The game runs in your browser. Your results are saved only in this browser so you can track your progress. Nothing you choose in the game is sent to PMCLEAR. We only count anonymous visits, for example how many shifts were started.
Yes. It is free forever. There is no account, no trial and no payment.
No. The story happens on a building site, but the skills are the same in any project: decide what matters most, communicate clearly, delegate, keep promises and never compromise safety.
It trains the same thinking the PMP exam tests in its situational questions: understand the situation first, protect safety, involve the right people and handle problems early. It is practice for real work, not a copy of exam questions.
Real project days are noisy. Phones ring, people knock and the radio calls while you work. Every character has a recorded voice in American English, and phone and radio calls sound like real phone and radio lines. You can switch sound off at any time.
Your last results are saved only in this browser, so you can see your progress over several sessions. Nothing about your game is sent to PMCLEAR. Clearing your browser data deletes the history.
Yes, but a computer or tablet with headphones gives the best experience, because there is a lot happening on the screen at once.
