This is what’s being done to Sherpas in Nepal, they risk their own lives guiding tourists up Mount Everest but don’t get enough credit, money or respect for it. A sherpas job consists of lugging tourists’ gear, guiding them up the mountain, and clearing a pathway up the world’s highest mountain. In the year of 2014, sixteen Sherpas died due to an…

Each individual was given goals to achieve and a role to play during the climb, except for the Observer who only observes the game. The first simulation consisted of team members playing the game within different locations and communicating through a Skype chat function.
