Boiler Room Crisis Simulation: the ultimate test in crisis communication

Not standard media training, but a hyper-realistic crisis simulation. Hibou's Boiler Room confronts you and your team with a rapidly evolving scenario where communication, control, and decision-making under pressure are key. An innovative training session that combines the intensity of a crisis with the dynamics of journalism and social media.

During this interactive session, you will see how a crisis unfolds. You will only have 50 percent of the information, but you must make 100 percent of the decisions and bear the consequences. The Boiler Room is a unique combination of an escape room and media training. Is your team ready to stay in control?

What will you learn during the Boiler Room?

Stakeholder management

Keep all parties engaged and informed, even while having limited control over how the scenario unfolds.

Spokespersonship and communication

Manage the flow of information. Journalists reach out continuously, and social media is on fire. You and your team must keep communicating sharply and consistently.

Taking control

Ensure the team continues to work systematically and with an overview. Know how to make agreements and monitor processes, even as the pressure and hectic pace increase.
