Nothing to install
Buying on TPT drops a private copy of the simulation — code and spreadsheet together — straight into your Google Drive. Nothing to assemble.
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.
Publish & paste
A one-time publish turns it into a live web app (that's the video above). Drop the link into your LMS and students play in any browser — no accounts, no app, no logins.
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
What sets the Simulation Lab apart.
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.
