Step back in time to 1790s Philadelphia with our roleplaying experience, the Situation Room. During this 75-minute game, the actions you take will decide the fate of our young nation.

This fast-paced, interactive game allows participants to step into the shoes of the presidential Cabinet, U.S. senators, foreign ambassadors, Native American leaders, members of the press, and even George Washington himself. The game will take you back in time to Washington’s second term as president and challenge you with the same domestic and international developments and crises he faced as the leader of our young nation. Players work together to steer the United States in the right direction. New information is received in real-time, and the group must quickly adapt in response to a changing environment.

Registration Details:
