How it works

Set it up in two minutes. Grade it from a spreadsheet.

Every simulation is a real Google web app — not a locked app or a worksheet. Students play with one link and no logins, and every decision, paragraph, and score lands in your Google Sheet automatically. Here's the whole loop.

The full setup, start to finish — under two minutes from your copy to a link students can play.

Three steps, once

From purchase to a graded class set.

1 GET YOUR COPY

It's already yours

Buying on TPT drops a private copy of the simulation — code and spreadsheet together — straight into your Google Drive. Nothing to install, nothing to assemble.

2 SHARE ONE LINK

Publish & paste

A one-time publish turns it into a live web app (that's the video above). Drop the link into Google Classroom and students play in any browser — no accounts, no app, no logins.

3 GRADE FROM YOUR SHEET

The work comes to you

As students play, every choice, written response, and score auto-saves to your spreadsheet — one tidy row per student. Sort it, filter it, export it, grade it.

The part free tools don't have

A free sandbox gives you a toy. This gives you the gradebook too.

Free simulators stop at the screen — you still have to walk around and check, or bolt on a quiz tool to grade. Because every Simulation Lab product is built on Google Sheets, the assessment is built in.

  • One row per student, written and timestamped the moment they submit — decisions, reflections, scores, all of it.
  • It's your data, in your Drive. Not our server, not a third party. Sort, filter, and export it like any spreadsheet.
  • Auto-graded where it counts — scored responses and rubric checks come back already tallied, so you read thinking, not bubble sheets.
  • You can change everything. Prompts, point values, and settings live in plain Sheet tabs you control — no code required.
