Image of facilitator debrief mode. This picture shows an overview of the house with details of the players positions. Orange dots represent players on the second floor of the house. The gaming engine will record states as the scenario progress. These states will enable the game to be reloaded from multiple points of an existing scenario. Players can learn from mistakes that were made during the simulation and discuss their actions with the rest of the players using VoIP (Voice-over-IP)."
