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
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
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.
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
