2025 Pandemic Game Simulation Competition
Transforming Policy Education Through Simulation-Based Learning
DMS Academy is proud to power the 2025 NASPAA Student Simulation Competition with The Pandemic Game, an immersive simulation that challenges students to navigate high-stakes policy decisions in a real-world crisis scenario.
What is the NASPAA Simulation Competition?
The NASPAA Student Simulation Competition is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for graduate students in public administration, policy, and related fields to test their leadership, negotiation, and crisis management skills in a fast-paced, team-based environment. Participants step into the roles of policymakers and public administrators, making high-pressure decisions that shape the outcome of a simulated crisis.
The 2025 Challenge: The Pandemic Game
This year, teams competed in The Pandemic Game, where they must:
- Balance public health, economic stability, and political pressures
- Lead multi-stakeholder negotiations in a crisis environment
- Make real-time decisions with complex trade-offs
- Develop adaptive strategies to respond to evolving challenges
Skills Developed:
- Crisis Management & Agility
- Leadership Under Pressure
- Multi-Stakeholder Negotiation
- Ethical Decision-Making
