Revas Business Simulation Games vs The Business School

Revas Business Simulation Games is a web-based learning platform where participants run virtual companies, compete in a shared market, and analyze results and business problems. Learners can create jobs, hire employees, set pay, buy equipment, invest in traditional or online advertising, and set prices. Revas offers simulations for different industries and a Project Management simulation for teaching project management. The platform is aimed at businesses, universities, schools, and entrepreneurship classes. Participants access simulations through an internet browser, available 24/7 from anywhere. An instructor can order a demo and complete three rounds of any simulation at no cost. Annual subscriptions provide access for 12 months from purchase. An indefinite license can be hosted by Revas or on a customer's servers and integrated with organizational systems for single-login access. Plans vary in license keys, simulations, and instructor allotments; higher tiers add features such as a multilanguage platform, student e-certificates, and teacher reports. Pricing is available on request, and Revas does not require a contract for access.

The Business School is a browser-based classroom simulation where student teams run rival firms in a shared market during one lesson. Teams decide prices, hiring, loans, VAT, crises, and deals, with the effects visible in the simulation. Each session supports 6 to 32 students across up to eight firms of three or four. Teachers can pause or resume phases, trigger a crisis, review firm activity, and display a live leaderboard. Students join using a six-digit PIN and a team label or first name, without student accounts or email addresses. They can download private reports, while the teacher receives a curriculum-mapped class report by email within 48 hours. Knowledge Check questions are listed for 23 business courses, including AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas, WJEC, Cambridge, BTEC, and IB courses. Session data is stored in an EU database in Frankfurt; the company says it does not sell data or use it for advertising, and teachers can end a session at any time. A free teacher demo is listed. School and trust licence prices are by quote after the pilot. The Autumn 2026 pilot cohort is full, with a waitlist open.
