Go to and log in then click GoVenture Leader.

You may now navigate the Scenario as students would do.
Unlike students, you will be able to see Briefings, Stakeholders, and Activities for all future periods, not just the current and past periods.
Any decisions you make are not saved as you are only viewing the Scenario.
Limits on Questions and Activities are not active in view mode in order to allow you to review all.
To exit view mode, click BACK TO FACILITATOR DASHBOARD button at the top of the screen.

Once you are familiar with a Scenario, it is recommended that you play it as a student so that you experience how the Scenario progresses from period to period.

Log out of the Facilitator dashboard by clicking the yellow back arrow at the top of the screen then click LOGOUT button at the top of the screen.
Go to and log in as a STUDENT/TEAM using the username and password you created. Note that this is not the same website you used to login with your instructor account (PlayGoVenture.com).
Play the simulation by reading the backstory, conducting research, and choosing activities. Once you are done making decisions for the first period, log out.
Click FACILITATOR LOGIN button and log in using the username and password provided to you.
Under the Scenario click FACILITATE then ADVANCE TO NEXT PERIOD and then click the button to advance to the next period.
Click BACK TO FACILITATOR DASHBOARD button at the top of the screen then click EDIT under the Scenario.
