The Outsourcing Game is a role-play simulation that has been deployed in industry and academic training courses worldwide. It incorporates the concepts of hidden actions, hidden information, and misaligned incentives, and conveys messages about power, trust, and reputation.

In the late April, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) posted a request for information about its statement of objectives for a serious games initiative to train luggage screeners.
