Practice all three, end to end
The exact games McKinsey can send you. Tap any card to see how it works, step by step.
Redrock rewards staying organized under pressure far more than any single hard calculation, which is exactly what trips most candidates up on the day. Here is the full flow you will drill.
Investigation
Click through the exhibits and log every figure into your Research Journal. Hover a bar to read it.
Analysis
Use your logged figures to run the case math. Hover the result to see what it represents.
Report
Pull it into a short structured answer. Hover a line to see what each part covers.
Cases
Six rapid questions on the shared clock. Hover an option to see why it is right or wrong.
McKinsey grades both your final answers (product score) and how you work the problem (process score). This simulator mirrors both, so practice builds the habits that count.
Sea Wolf is the newest and most overtly mathematical game. The catch is that individually ideal microbes almost always carry a disqualifying trait, so the real skill is blending out-of-range extremes into a valid combination, sometimes when no perfect score even exists.
Profile
Scan each microbe and its traits. Hover a row to reveal what it carries.
Categorize
Group microbes by trait so candidates are easy to compare. Hover a group for its count.
Prospect
Shortlist trios that could hit the target ranges. Hover the bar for the target.
Treatment
Lock the trio whose averages land in range, even if no single microbe is perfect. Hover the result.
Some sites are deliberately tuned so a perfect score is impossible, just like the real exam. You are graded on how close your trio averages land to the targets, so a smart compromise beats chasing perfection.
Futures Lab is the situational judgment game. Choices branch, so there is no single script to memorize. It rewards consistent, defensible reasoning and stakeholder awareness over raw math, and it is the game candidates most often underestimate.
Briefing
Read the crisis and the constraints. Hover the highlight for the catch.
A drought threatens the valley. The council votes in 48 hoursHard deadline on your plan.
Ranking
Order your priorities. Hover the top one to see how it shapes the run.
Judgment
Work 12 branching decisions under time. Hover an option to preview its trade-off.
Review
See how you scored across traits. Hover a bar for the detail.
There is rarely one right answer. You are scored on consistent, defensible reasoning that stays aligned with the priorities you set, even as the scenario branches.
