Our Products

Blackout is a critical thinking training tool that functions as a tabletop simulator, generating random operating scenarios that simulate abnormal system events where participants must recognize the state of the system and provide corrective actions to restore the system to its normal operating state within 15 minutes.
Using a combination of cards and dice, trainees randomly generate an unfavorable system condition which they must resolve within a set time period using key actions.

• Trainees record the actions they would take to resolve the abnormal system condition on a scorecard.
• A qualified instructor evaluates the actions at the end of the exercise.
• Trainees gain bonus points if resolved within the selected time.
• Trainees with the most points per game are the winners!
• Blackout can generate scenarios at varying levels of difficulty to match the expertise of the trainee. This makes the simulator appropriate for everyone from new apprentices to veteran journeymen operators.
