The challenge

Support agents must listen to an upset customer, find the right policy and answer kindly, all while a timer runs.

Scripted role-plays and PDFs don't recreate that pressure, so new agents freeze on their first real call.

The solution

  • A ticking clock

    Learners search a knowledge base for the answer while the timer keeps running, just like a real call.

  • A mood bar

    Seven emotional states, from angry to delighted. Every reply moves the bar and changes the customer's voice.

  • Game-style look

    Comic-book design, an animated intro and professional voice acting speak to a young audience.

The result

  • Soft skills like empathy and calm can be practised and measured.
  • The engine is reusable: swap the script, voice and policies to create new call types.
  • Challenging enough to feel like a game, simple enough to never get in the way.
