Coin Game Facilitators Guide
This guide is for use with the online version of the Coin Game.
KNOWN ISSUES:
We are currently working on fixing the following known issues:
- The more players in a game the less stable the game becomes (coins stuck, players stuck unable to move coins). This is due to latency and the underlying platform we use for the realtime messaging. Up to 3 to 4 players max per game seems to be optimum, 5 or more you’ll get issues.
- Microsoft IE & Edge browser causes problems and may not work.

Game Concepts
If you’ve never facilitated the coin game before then read on.
There are 4 rounds to the game. Each round represents a change to the batch-size of work.
Start with a batch size of 20. Get all players to flip the coins and pass them on.
For the second round, switch the batch size to 10 and get the players to flip the coins and pass them on.
Repeat this for each batch size. What do you notice about the overall customer time? It should be reducing as the batch size reduces.
