All Mursion simulations are based on a scenario. The scenario defines the performance objectives, background content information and challenges that take place in a simulation. The scenario is how everyone knows what is going on or will be going on in the simulation. It is possible to create custom scenarios, but there are also scenarios that have already been developed that work well. Below are some scenario topics that have already been developed and are ready for use.
If you or your team would like to have your own custom design scenario completed, below are the steps of the process:
