PRINCEOPOLY is the project management game that trains project managers and project teams in the successful application of project management skills. PRINCEOPOLY is a board game with products, risks, issues, and of course ... a dice. Under time pressure participants are challenged to build the city of PRINCEOPOLIS, using their project management skills as effectively as they can.

From theory to practice

In the United Kingdom, a new city is to be built. The project team’s task is to build this city. There are several roles: the project minister, the mayor of PRINCEOPOLIS, and project managers for industry, infrastructure, environment and security, supplies, and residential areas.

How it works

The game teaches how to manage the project in an effective way, in both the planning and implementation phases, by using PRINCE2 processes, components and techniques.

The new city of PRINCEOPOLIS must of course be habitable; people live, work and play there. Investments must be recouped according to the business plan, while all kinds of complicated issues, dangers, hidden agendas and pitfalls are dealt with. Objectives can only be attained if participants work as a team. Under the guidance of experienced game leaders, players learn to set up and execute a project. During the game, participants continuously receive feedback on their roles and responsibilities within the project, and on how decisions are taken. It will become clear that cooperation between project members is of crucial importance for the progress of the project.
