Step 1 — Choose a simulation

Go to Simulations in the sidebar. You’ll see a grid of available scenarios, each showing:
  • Title — The topic or scenario
  • Committee type — GA, Security Council, ECOSOC, HRC, or Crisis
  • Difficulty — Easy, Moderate, Hard, or Expert
  • Type — Historical, Current, or Fictional
  • Duration estimate — Typical simulations take 20–45 minutes
Browse and click into any simulation to read the full description and your objectives before committing.

Step 2 — Select your country

When you click Start Simulation, you’ll be asked to choose which country you want to represent. The available countries vary by simulation — some simulations have a fixed list of 5–8 key countries, others let you choose from a larger pool. Consider:
  • Your conference prep — If you’re preparing for a specific conference, represent the country you’ll actually have
  • Challenge — Representing a country with a minority position is harder and more instructive
  • Interest — Representing a country you know less about will teach you more

Step 3 — Review your briefing

Before the session starts, you’ll see a country briefing — a short summary of:
  • Your country’s background and standing
  • Your country’s position on the committee topic
  • Your objectives for the simulation (what counts as a win for your country)
  • Key allies and likely opponents
Read this carefully. It determines your strategy for the entire simulation.

Step 4 — The committee session

The simulation opens with a committee room interface. The chair opens the session and the debate begins. What you can do:
  • Speak — Request the floor and give a speech. There’s a draft area where you can compose your speech before delivering it. You have a time limit per speech.
  • Respond to points of information — After you or another delegate speaks, points of information may be raised. You can yield your remaining time to POIs or not.
  • Make motions — Motion for a moderated caucus, unmoderated caucus, or other procedural actions.
  • Negotiate — In unmoderated caucuses, you can approach other delegates to build blocs, negotiate resolution language, or share strategy.
  • Submit working paper — As the simulation progresses, you can propose resolution language and gather sponsors.
What the AI does: Other country delegates respond dynamically based on their country’s actual positions and interests. They’ll give speeches, raise POIs, form blocs, and respond to your proposals based on realistic diplomatic logic. The chair enforces procedure throughout.

Step 5 — Resolution phase

If the simulation reaches a resolution vote (not all do), you’ll participate in the final vote. Countries explain their vote, then cast it. The outcome (resolution passes/fails) is part of your final assessment.

Step 6 — Debrief and score

When the simulation ends, you see a full debrief:
  • Overall score (0–100)
  • Rank — from Diplomatic Novice to Expert Diplomat
  • Skills breakdown — Diplomacy, Negotiation, Critical Thinking, Communication
  • Summary — What you did well, what you could improve
  • Resolution outcome — Whether your objectives were achieved
This goes into your simulation history in your profile.
